Pub Trivia - AKA things that may be beyond the scope of Moorey’s knowledge

I had a Commodore Vic 20 and it used tape.

Cheese has it. I started with the tape drive for my C64 but was the coolest nerd at school when I was the 1st to get a disk drive. Only 2hours to load a game rather than 8.

Did you have to rewind the tapes each time you played?

 

[Knuckles]

Play? Pfffft..... Load 90% then error, start again. :thumb:

We had a commodore 128 but only used it in commodore 64 mode.

Okies question - which classic game is this?

 

[Knuckles]

Galaga ?.......

 

[cleeshoy]

Galaga ?.......

Nup, close, same era (I knew someone would guess galaga). Even starts with "G", 6 letters long in total.

 

[moorey]

[cleeshoy]

Fuck. Typed a couple of minutes ago, and didn't post.

 

[cleeshoy]

You're the nerd, but I spent hundreds of dollars on games as a kid while mum played indoor tennis. I reckon you're wrong, unless it's some obscure rip off you're looking for.

Googled it, and I say my last post was on the money :rant:

 

[pink poodle]

Indoor tennis? Don't you mean squash?
Gyrnia? Or something very close...
