Nostalgia is huge for me. It's why I would rather eat the ass end of a rabid skunk than play one of those flashback systems. I much prefer fighting my NES for an hour and a half just to get 5 minutes of game time than play one of those monstrosities for 2 hours. I can't stand emulators of any kind, not just those flashback vomit inducers.Oh you bet we all need a reminder course on using the resources efficiently.
Spectrum Next is a very nice machine, I got it on the second kickstarter campaign which more or less coincided with Covid and it took three years to complete! It's a combination of modern and retro, you can load games from SD card, wifi (!) or even cassette tapes if you fancy that. And the hardware is updated too, though you can still run it as a plain old speccy if you wish.
But it's all about nostalgia so I barely use it once a year (along with my real vintage home computer collection).
I also drive an 87 Iroc with T-tops. But that car I dreamed about for 35 years before I got her. I even named her Dream.
I haven't gamed for several days as I've been sicker than hell for a while now. But I'm obviously on the mend as I'm on the computer. So here's hoping I'm clear in VERY NEAR FUTURE.
