Should we be excited about SEGA Spectrum?

It was probably shown behind closed doors, just a guess on my part.

 

Pretty much how I began gaming, back in the late '80s. Spectrum was soooo legit back then, and even with just a few colours, did a pretty good job of handling some of these conversions 25 years on, who knows what they are gonna cook up next! Really look forward to seeing them put some cards on the table next-gen.

 

Imagine how the youth of today would react if they had to wait an hour for their game to load off a tape!

I remember the Batman game, where you loaded the first few levels for an hour, and once you beat those, you had to turn the tape over and load the other side. And shit, no saving, no passwords, no nothing - once you're done playing, you turn it off, and when you want to play again, you wait another hour for it to load.

 

Man I loved the spectrum. Pai Chan your picture almost made me well up with Joy!. The only machine I was a fanboy of!
