      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?

      Forth and Z80 assembly, at least, I used them in the 80's.

          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 "[" & "]" :~

                    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:

                        Forth and assembler on a Jupiter Ace - now that's taking me back literally to where I started playing with computers.

                          The most important machine in computing history[^] Whats remarkable is the selling price now is cheaper than the selling price then, even ignoring inflation. I might be showing my vintage here.....

                          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:

                            It's the first level of Manic Miner. [edit] I just checked and the version I have still runs on Win10 :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:
