  • Seems perverse to put so much money and time into getting such an underpowered device which was never designed to work in America to function.

  • @ThePinkhamsterino Not when you have a genuine passion for what you're doing. Often the more aggravating it is, the bigger the personal payoff.

  • Why do half the sound effects and music sound like farts? Especially Chuckie Egg...

  • @GizmoFan1 The spectrum has an 8-bit flatulence generator built-in. That's what results when cheeky Brits design computers.

  • @ocrisful It's just not the same dude, on any level at all. Sure, you get to play a representation of a game. But to me, it's like looking at porn when you could instead have a real woman. If you have the ability, why not go all out?

  • Holy mother of Jesus Christ, Mary and the other dude!!!! @ 7:46 !!! :D

  • Sorry, I was laughing at you all the way through this, being from the UK </3

  • @phreakindee Next you'll have to see if you can get a Sinclair C5!

  • @phreakindee True!  I didn't mean to dis your efforts and should have added that I enjoyed this and other videos you've posted.

  • I find this very interesting, as I from the UK and I know that Atari and Commodore had a lot bigger market.

    It's just a shame to see that it requires a lot of effort to get the computer running over there.

    Oh, and just a little but of trivia, and I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but Jet Pac was made by Ultimate Play The Game, which later changed it's name to Rare (as in the Rare who made Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007), it's just sad to see that Micro$oft let them down.

  • @phreakindee I love you man.

    Well in a platonic way.

    Thanks for all of the history lessons and entertaining reviews.

    Cheers!

  • The awesome thing is that there are still dozens of games made for this guy every freakin year. Not even the NES gets that much support.
