Just watched Tron on the Beeb. Takes me back.
Learned all I know about computers from that. (Which may explain a lot!)
Keep Matrix, give me Tron. Yeah!

yeah I'm beginning to think the world is in a time warp.

1)miami vice is back
2) dallas is being made into a film
3) theres and oil crisis

Greetings from the colonies eh!

I am still waiting for the return of 25 cent a glass beer and 30 cent a gallon (imp) gas!

I'd like to see Max Headroom again, I used to like his show.

Tron........my god i took my first girl friend to see that, sat at the back trying to pluck up the balls to have a snog in the back row

Ahhh...Commodore 64 computers (a step up from the Vic 20); new cars where you could look under the hood and still identify all the parts; income tax wasn't much, and nobody'd ever heard of GST; no such thing as a Brazilian wax job on the beach yet . I'm sure there's more...

commodore 64.
when i were a lad....
i had a sinclair ZX81....lol
and when the acorn electron came out ...wow
kids have it so good nowadays
i wonder what they would of have made of PING!!!

About the same as they would of PONG . I had a ZX80 and traded up to a ZX81. I wish I still had the 80, they fetch good money from collectors.

I remember watching Tron on tele as a kid, but I've got no idea what all you old gits are going on about with this ZX80/81 stuff!

watched tron yesterday. I'd forgotten just how good it is ......... fab film with excellent effects.

next we will be talking about arcade games with fondness like...

space invaders
defender
pheonix
gauntlet
dungeons n dragons
track n field
outrun

my kids love gauntlet they've got it on a midway arcade collection for the xbox

gauntlets the only one i know off that list, great game.

my old pa had an old rubber keyed zx on the wall for ages, one he'd stripped to fix another. I remember learning to write basic on one! But im only 26... you're making me feel old!

well about 26 years ago.. i was using a ZX81....
now i feel old ...lol
