Cew, where did you ever see a Spectrum, they stopped selling them before you were born.

Elite took bits of my time at home for a few months, that was addictive. Chucky Egg was fun. Acornsoft's Aviator was a miracle of physics modeling.

Space Invaders!

Frogger and Asteroids. Don't they still play those? Didn't Frogger evolve into Grand Theft Auto?

Frogger rocks! Frogger forever!

Unreal is unreal though.

Did anybody run that spindly wireframe version of Flight Simulator?
(FS4 I think.)

You had a PS1 when you were little? Some people are just born into wealth and luxury, that's all I can say. When I was little all I had was a stick with a horse's head carved in one end, that was my one and only thing to play with. I didn't even have a hat. I had to stay in at weekends because I had no hat to go out in and it would have shown us up in front of the neighbours. I mean, none of us kids had shoes to speak of, not for going out playing in, but all the others had a hat each. I bet you'd not even know what to do with a stick with a horse's head carved in one end, would you.

When I say little, i mean like 7 or 8. My parents and grandparents and great grandparents and probably most of my other family grew up in a very similar situation to you. My family tell me about playing with a bike that had no pedals, found by the side of the road, and having no shoes at all to wear for anything and definitely no hat. I appreciate how lucky we are to be in the situation where we could afford a psone when I was 8 but that fact alone does not mean I was born into 'wealth and luxury', just an average family. I appreciate everything I have, and had I been 'little' in the situation both you and my family were I would appreciate the fact that I had a roof over my head and passable food and water. Its just the way things go, and I feel just as strongly about the incredible injustice as you do.
