Hi all,

[:D][:D][:D]

I used my uncle's Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48 K in 1983 and in 1984 I got myself Commodore 64! [:)]

In 1986 I even bought shoe-box sized 5.25" floppy for it in USA... [:D]

I played "Hunt for the Red October" on a C64 for many, many hours.

Interesting point. So whats the excuse for Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago?

Philadelphia was Latin (named by Sir William Penn as "City of Brotherly love", a quaker enclave). Both Detroit and Chicago, are based upon American Indian names/words (actually mis translation/mis spellings). [:)]

KState!! Woot woot.

There's no flowers on a sailors grave
No lilies on an ocean wave
The only tribute is the seagulls sweep
And the tear drop on a loved ones cheek
We shall remember them.

Y'all seem to be missing the point that this is a birthday cake. [:)]

I know. I was wondering who those guys have to blame for being a mess. At least Boston has its English antecedent to look up to. [:'(]

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: sprior

I played "Hunt for the Red October" on a C64 for many, many hours.

I loved "Red Lightning" as well!

That was the 1st game I modified myself (changed data files for more realistic stats)... it was in 1985 I think... [;)]


The game I played the most on my Commodore 64 was "Elite" of course! [:)]


BTW, I wanted to get Sinclair QL as well but was unable to get "D-Day" strategy on cartridge... so I stayed on Commodore 64 until Atari ST in 1986 with 1 MB or RAM [X(] (that was superb truly usable computer much more advanced than Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K and Commodore 64)... [:D]

Morning chaps.

Hi all,

Any more TV opportunities perhaps in the near future Martin? [8D]
