Lego to Vibrators within a page! :good:

I had to make do with home made boomrangs, what were made out of plastic rectangles found on Shakerley tip. Did the trick once modified. Subbuteo was too violent when playing Inter Milan away in Astley, when you scored a disputed goal, and had a fork stuck in your back.

Always wanted one of those, but we had the ZX Spectrum (?) with the rubber keys. I remember spending all day Christmas Day and most of Boxing Day, typing in about 8 pages of formula's.

 

At the end of it, the family gathered around the telly in expectation.

 

It drew the outline of a Union Jack and coloured it in.

In the end I hooked a tape deck onto it, as the games were cheaper on tape and they even took about the same amount of time to load! Will never forget Masons Leisure on COR as a kid, all the C64, Amstrad, Spectrum, Atari & Amiga games you could ask for :good:

 

Imagine telling a kid now how shite they were, I had a C Vic-20 at one point too, awful - truly awful :blink:

 

as

feeling very old

i swapped my c64 for a shit bmx with no chain, not sure who got the better deal...
