I was doing a tidy up at my Mum and Dad's house the other week...you know how it is, I've not lived at home for several years but you leave some junk behind. Anyway I decided (or should I say was prompted) to do a clear out. I stumbled upon a couple of my old home computers...and magazines that I subscribed to - you know the ones that have games in (i.e. Code on the page) and you would type in the code line by line and 6 months later (slight exaggeration) you would have some crumby game to play - but you were proud...it was just like you had climbed Everest :-)

Anyway I grabbed some screen shots for old times sake...

WOW..WOW, I've just discovered lots of retro websites and games for download...busy day at work today so the reminiscing will have to put off until the weekend ;-)
