Is anyone particularly annoyed by games that are too easy? Or build up difficulty at too slow of a pace. Yes good point! I actually give up on a game that can be too easy...

datasette cleaning

What is the best way of cleaning the datasette heads?

With the liquid tape cleaner?
Or
With the fluffy tape cleaner?

Many stores in the UK still stock tape cleaners.
But i wish to use the correct one,without
Shortening the life span of my Vic.

Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters on the spectrum :lol: :oops:
Yeah that was rubbish.

But then again alot of the spectrum games in my opinion were not all that fantastic...
The Vic-20 didn't try to be what it wasn't ....In my eyes the spectrum tried to be better than it was(even though i loved my old spectrum)
