2019-08-28 08:17:54 UTC

2019-08-28 08:18:03 UTC  

the Speccy died a few years ago

2019-08-28 08:18:06 UTC  

Xcopy yw

2019-08-28 08:18:10 UTC  

Looked like game

2019-08-28 08:18:13 UTC  

Never throw shit like that out

2019-08-28 08:18:22 UTC  

Game of chance not to get your data corrupt

2019-08-28 08:18:27 UTC  

If the Amiga had the RAM upgrade with the battery, it's probably ruined now

2019-08-28 08:18:30 UTC  

I was a pc gamer from the time I was a toddler. didn't get a console until I was 5

2019-08-28 08:18:37 UTC  

the Speccy legit fired to shit since my dad used a wrong power supply

2019-08-28 08:18:43 UTC  

ahh

2019-08-28 08:18:50 UTC  

still useful parts on it though

2019-08-28 08:18:55 UTC  

i should asked him tho

2019-08-28 08:19:06 UTC  

was it a rubberkeys, a plus or one of amstrads monstrosities?

2019-08-28 08:19:24 UTC  

all i remember was that it was **LONG**

2019-08-28 08:19:32 UTC  

tape deck integrated?

2019-08-28 08:19:42 UTC  

you mean datarecorder?

2019-08-28 08:19:49 UTC  

cassette, call it what you want

2019-08-28 08:19:54 UTC  

yeah

2019-08-28 08:19:57 UTC  

it had one built in

2019-08-28 08:19:58 UTC  

was a +2 then

2019-08-28 08:20:03 UTC  

yeah

2019-08-28 08:20:12 UTC  

Mostly Amstrad made

2019-08-28 08:20:18 UTC  

the Amiga is still at my dad's but we live in America now

2019-08-28 08:20:32 UTC  

so i dont know if it will work with American power voltage

2019-08-28 08:20:39 UTC  

Need a different power brick

2019-08-28 08:20:53 UTC  

Or a step-down tranformer. Different power brick probably cheaper

2019-08-28 08:20:54 UTC  

i don't remember which Amiga it was

2019-08-28 08:21:01 UTC  

it was either a 600 or a 1200

2019-08-28 08:21:12 UTC  

The 600 was titchy

2019-08-28 08:21:19 UTC  

funny enough

2019-08-28 08:21:26 UTC  

it was meant to be a cheaper 500

2019-08-28 08:21:31 UTC  

Well it sort of was

2019-08-28 08:21:39 UTC  

but i was so expensive to make it just replace the 500

2019-08-28 08:21:59 UTC  

cannon fodder and mortal kombat

2019-08-28 08:22:07 UTC  

cannon fodder

2019-08-28 08:22:12 UTC  

i never played that

2019-08-28 08:22:14 UTC  

heard of it

2019-08-28 08:22:16 UTC  

never played it

2019-08-28 08:22:22 UTC  

sticking the wrong supply into spectrums was common since most DC supplies for calculators and chargers and stuff were centre-pin positive, whereas on the spectrum it was reveresed

2019-08-28 08:22:29 UTC  

yeah
