Ask me anything about 80's Computers, Video games and handheld games also....

I have a large collection of handheld's, Spectrums, Orics, C64, Vic20, Amstrad.... A lot still boxed 8|

The games that are still fun 30 years on are Simon, Pocket Simon, Speak n Spell and the Little Professor....
I have a few Arcade machines also.... I know everything about em all :)

Hoots wrang wi' Chess? It's one of the best games around, and one of the oldest.

Does anyone remember the horse racing game, Totopoly? I can vaguely remember my stepfather having it, but he wouldn`t let us play with it, so not sure exactly what went on.
