Haha, now that is a surprising move! I wonder how many they will sell?

I loved some of the old Commodore/Spectrum games - especially the Dizzy series!

Quote "Its 1.8Ghz chip is far faster than the 8-bit 1MHz MOS 6502 processor used in the 80's original."


Haaa Really? OMG noooo!

:DOh blimey swing the lamp, I remember buying a Sinclair thingybob for my son and sitting on his bed reading out the software so he could record it onto a tape so he could play games, that was a long time ago:). He has all grown up and and is a engineering manager for the BBC. I don't know where he got his brains from as it couldn't have been me so it must have skipped a generation.:bow:

and thanks for the link TD I remember I was in the fire service at the time and could not afford the Spectrum at the time. Cor hasn't technology advanced over the last 30 odd years we at the time could not imagined at that time that we would have the Internet, Google Earth, and all the instant communication that we have now like Skype or things where one could have a virtual super computer to go crunching on to help solve the medical:thumb: problems in the world

With a faster chip, do the games become unplayably fast? Or have we too gotten more dexterous?
