RedRob72 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 My old man was too tight to pay Butlins prices, we stayed on the Racecourse, proper hardcore campers! Recall we may have got a 'day ticket' for the pool. Happy days though! [emoji3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my Commodore 64 I moved onto an Amiga 1200 and would go to The Barras once a month to pick up copied games for a few quid at a time. Probably paid a bit more for Theme Park since it came in about twenty disks. I remember my mate had a Commodore 64 and we sat with the latest PC magazine giving you the complete code for "caterpillar" and spent hours and hours programming the game in only to have to recheck the code for errors and when it did work the b*****ds never allowed you to save the program to a cassette tape. f**k me we were so angry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennboy1978 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The Barras once a month to pick up copied games for a few quid at a time. Probably paid a bit more for Theme Park since it came in about twenty disks. We went there to get our Atari ST 520 (0.5 MB of RAM) upgraded to a a massive 1MB.Never saw someone happier than when my Dad found Auto-Cad in the menu at the stall, which came on a similar amount of disks as Theme Park. "Saved myself thousands, son" said my Dad, beaming all the way home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
