  • Look, there´s Igle pigle!!, I love the Night garden...  :-)

  • @Multiwizard Thanks lol, my wife bought me him :o)

  • These were popular computers in New Zealand. I enjoyed playing The Sentinel, Plan-B, Thunderstruck, Repton, etc. Dad owned several of this series, Model B and Masters, but a common fault is the power supply. I imagine it's the same in the UK -- they are not very reliable and die after a while.

  • @cadmus98 I used one at school but never outside of there :o( Yes, I've seen a power supply pop, they are not too hard to fix though fortunatly :o)

  • @RetroGamerVX I still look The Night garden every evening, I can't help it, but, I like the most programs on CBeebies... :-)

  • @SmoothEmJay Ok, just you referred to it as the BBC "Master System", lol which had me confused. No need to checkout Wikipedia, I trust you. I now assume you meant to pause after "BBC Master" ;-)

  • @SmoothEmJay Yes, it is really called the BBC Master, not master system lol, have a look on Wikipedia

  • @RetroGamerVX Was it actually called the Master System? My knowledge of the BBC only stretches as far as the Model B and the Acorn, sorry.

  • @SmoothEmJay Because it is a Master. This is not the BBC B, the B is the older, smaller one with 32k of memory, this has a side numeric keypad and 128k of memory, it replaced the b :o)

  • Why are you referring to it as the BBC master system? I thought it was the BBC micro computer? Model B by the look of it?
