Hard to do without messing up, especially with a few zeros. We used to have a phone lock on our rotary dial up phone, it did not stop us from calling our friends when my mum used a lock on them. We just used the hook up to phone them although sometimes we phoned the wrong number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easier just to phone the operator and tell her you'd put 50p in and it swallowed the money and cut you off.

bennett Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Computers with cassettes which took years to load games, I'd the amstrad CPC 464 with the green screen monitor. Zx spectrum and commodore 64 were other options. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we were dazzled by typing in a program which flashed your name in different colours and speeds, and I accidentally hit the green arrow by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
