Video games, consoles and computers

I found a site where you can play a massive range of ZX Spectrum games through flashplayer (ahh... the nostalgia!). However, there are two main problems with it:

1) You have to sort of mash the keyboard to work out the controls
2) God, the games are crap! LOL! I can't believe many years of my youth were consumed with loading these games for an hour, but hey... we didn't know any different!

Unfortunately, the link is added to my favourites on my home computer and I can't remember the name of the bloody site!

i'm in the middle of swapping all my keys for rubber ones, i loved the ZX48K!!! Please bring the link to work with you tomorrow

You can play old NES and Mega Drive games on your PC now too, by downloading an emulator. 16-bit graphics - I can't ever believe I thought they looked awesome

Also new game play trailer from Fallout new Vegas was released

This is out on Friday. Could seriously decrease my availability for anything for some time, if it is even a patch on Fallout 3. And just up to the bank holiday weekend...

I have the link:

ZX Spectrum Games - ZXSpectrum.net

It plays in Java player, not Flash player as I initially thought!

I loved both those games as a kid. My brother and I always have a two player on it and ended up beating the shit out of each other for real after chopping each others heads off in Barbarian!

just spent about 30 mins trying to cross and get back across the road in Horace Goes Skiing, Jesus Christ what a hard game. I remember playing this as a kid and thinking it was brilliant. Unlike Frogger the trucks, cars and bikes all belt down the road with no intention of letting you across, it's freeking impossible.
