Its very true what they say "there is nothing new in this world" I used to play this on my "Dragon" computer, (that was post Sinclair pre Amstrad). It was called "Frogger" then. :wacko:
HEY! I had a Dragon 32. Loved it. :D
I didn't think anybody would remember them. The whole street used to turn up to play on it. The only thing was it took an age to load from the audio cassette. That was when it didn't hang up and you would start all over again. Not as good as PCS but more of an adventure. :thumbsup:
I used to have a BBC Model B and it took all morning to load Chucky Egg from a casette tape.....ahhh the good old days :)
Is a Dragon Like a Spectrum...and I don't mean Captain Scarlet :huh:

Have you actually still got that machine in your possession or is that an archive Pic ?
Radman is looking for a spare machine for the Lan....hand him that and watch his face :)

:rolleyes: :D
wow oldie thats the dog's bo&**ks. Shame some of the membership here were not even born when that beauty came out ;)
Bloody Hell Oldie you have certainly stirred up some great memories. Thanks.
Hehehe how quaint :)
On the box note:
the 5 different resolutions upto 256x192
the powerful 32k memory
and a 9 colour display.
and whats more a keyboard is thrown in :blink:
What year would these have been made......early 80's ?
So what could you do with these things other than turn them on and watch the little red diode
I take it the idea was to buy the packaging and get the contents thrown in for free :narnar:
What we did (well most of the people I knew) was to spend a whole week typing in lines and lines of BASIC obtained from a fortnightly paper-based magazine called Popular Computing which, when fully entered, failed to run :-(
You then had hours of fun figuring out why it was b0rked :-)
When you finally got it running (and finding it was crap) you then had hours of fun playing with the code. :D
Those really were 'the days'.
:rolleyes:
You hit the nail on the head Oldie, they haven't got a clue just how much fun we had. In answer to Squirrel I had mine late 70's. Had an Amstrad early 80's ((with modem) OU course). :rolleyes:
spending 2 days just to get syntax error ........they should have just called it typo :rant:
