That is so not true. The Spectrum was smaller and more powerful, yes, but the BBC was still infinitely better. It was so much more versatile and the Spectrum had that horrible shitty little keyboard with those nasty rubbery keys.Penetrator_01 wrote:

Did you have the tape version of Elite or the disk one? The tape was a con - the instruction book even said half the features, e.g. military lasers, weren't available on tape. What it didn't say was that you couldn't get beyond "Competent" rank, though. I played it for 9 months on the tape and then got the disk version for Christmas. Within two months I was Elite and had done the missions.TPM-J45P3R- wrote:

Ill have a search through later see what games ive got, loads i know!
None of my games (almost none) were official. I had a crate full of games on disk and another crate full of games on tape, very few were official. I very rarely played games on tape. I couldn't be bothered with the load times.aardfrith wrote:

And did you read the novella that came with the game? I think I've still got that at home, someplace safe. I'll dig it out after work.
