Anyone know if there's a site where they have any old school games, ie. from the spectrum/C64 and the like. Cheers

Sorry, to play online, stuff like Manic Miner JSW, Daley Thomson's Decathlon. My mate was asking me, figured someone on here may know.

What I like the best, is that this picture is hosted on a Lotus site.

Can remember getting an Atari whic had the most realistic Space invaders compared to the arcade game at the time.
Got it for Xmas and by new year was so hooked on this single cartridge that i used to wear a leather glove because i had blisters from the joystick..lol. how sad is that...i also remember that if you turned it on at the same time as pushing the play button..you used to get "double fire" on it.
Wow even thinking back now i can still remember my mindset back then thinking "this is just the nuts" lol..30 years later its astonishing really how much its moved on, my eldest boy is 6 loves a computer game xbox ps2 etc...god only knows where we will be when he hits my age

This site has quite a few C64 games and Nes, Snes and master system:

http://nintendo8.com/game/235/ironman_stewart's_super_off-road/

Just been playing Ironman Stewart's off road which is still a great game Very Happy

Just go to the top or bottom and click your way through the games. Tried the first paperboy the other day, It's alot harder than I remember!

This is the place: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/

I don't know any online interfaces, there probably are some, but there are lots of emulators. I've used Spectaculator.

People still write games for the Spectrum.
