I think that was about the price when first it came out? Includes 'Chuckie Egg', 'Sinclair BASIC' and 'Game bundle (2) to access the device’s additional features and exclusive content hmmm...I have no desire to program in basic I wonder if any other languages will be available?

:thumbsup: :-D [OffTopic] Do you (or anybody else] know the name of the game which is displayed as background on dabs.com...? It´s not Manic Miner, isn´t it!? i know i played that game, in fact not on the Sinclair but on the Commodore 64. It was difficult... but i can´t remember the name... :( :doh: [/OffTopic] EDIT: it IS Manic Miner! :rolleyes:
It's the first level of Manic Miner. [edit] I just checked and the version I have still runs on Win10 :cool:

For my old computer I now use an old notebook which loads and saves the data in WAV files over the speaker and microphone plugs. I also have a program that can recover the binary data from the WAV samples. How about writing a digital tape recorder program with which you can archive everything from the old tapes?

Mine (48k) cost £129.99, though the prices had dropped by then. The 16k version retailed for £99.99, but few games worked. According to this[^] ,they started off at £125 and £175 respectively.

IIRC you had to write your own assembler - the BBC Micros had it built in you just put your assembly code between "[" & "]" :~

Actually, they're still available.

Ahh fun! I remember having to memory upgrades for a couple of friends who had the 16K version to 48K, the sockets were there but no chips. I did do a mod for the key board to one of them as well! Oh those were the days!:thumbsup:

The only time I saw the original in stores, it was on clearance for $50. I'm tempted to buy one of these new ones, but the wife freaked out last night when she found out I'd just bought another used computer -- an HP Itanium server to complete my VAX-Alpha-Itanium museum. :cool:

how do you run it? if it was a dosbox game i´d think dosbox can be executed in a win10 Environment, but it Looks like it can be run without an Emulator!? btw: i´d think dosbox can be executed without major Problems using win10!? edit: sorry for the late reply, i lately had Problems trying to receive new emails... :thumbsdown:
