ZX Spectrum: Play online for RSI fun!

Bombjack

Me. I was a ZX Spectrum kid. I had a Commodore 16k, but it was rubbish... even then. Other kids I knew had Commodore 64s, Amiga CPC464s and Atari somethingothers with cigar shaped joysticks, but for me, Spectrum Was King. I graduated to a Spectrum 125k with a built-in tape deck, so I didn't have to much about with the volume on my separate when the line of tippex had worn off. It came with a James Bond pack and a gun. It was amazing. Saboteur, Jet Set Willy, Footballer of the Year, Jetpac and Fantasy World Dizzy set my world on fire. Now, those games are so crude and small that mobile phones are standing around in the showers, towels poised and ready to gloat. Yet still, the birth of the home computer grips some of us with a fever that's hard to shake. The thought of those rubber keys make us sigh with nostalgia. Now, you can play pretty much every game online without downloading a damn thing.
