    Edit: Pitfall too
    Played Pitfall on the Atari.

    Spent hours on it.

    I was aged 9 or 10 mind.

    Smurfs was my favourite game on the Atari. It had the same 4 screebs/levels they just got quicker after you’d completed the 4 screens.

    Daley Thompson Decathlon for the ZX Spectrum was the holy grail of gaming for me.

    I had the Smurfs game.

    My favourite was Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.

    ZX Spectrum game was Manic Miner and Monty Mole, both platform classics.

    I’ve discovered Royal Legbar eggs, which are excellent. I’ll buy those from now on. Apart from that, nothing.

    Haven’t gambled for 10 weeks so now I’ve overcome that vice I might go back on the drugs to get my kicks.

    On a serious note doing more for others - my elderly next door neighbour, my Mrs cousin who’s got nobody and struggles to make ends meet as a single parent so we’ve been getting her some shopping - will probably continue after lockdown.

    Plan to visit my sister and family in London more.

    Might start ground hopping when the grounds reopen. Take in a few more City away games, I haven’t bothered much in the last decade.

    If there’s a crash in the housing market I may take advantage and upgrade my house.

    Good news. We could do without rabble like you around these parts. We've already got enough of our own.

    Yes. Was going to get a new summer house and decking in part the garden, but will probably have wait.

    How much money you got to spend dude ? ? ?

    might i suggest a raspberry pie with emulators installed, the retropie

    you can put it in a retro case ( like a NES / SNES case ) it takes up no space at all

    the TV i cannot help you with though

    you could just look at MAME on your laptop ( not sure it'll work on apple, which i suspect you have )
