Weirdly, I’m clearing my parents house (they both passed a few months ago) and I came across my Your Sinclair enamel badge that I got when my letter was printed in 1984 in the mag!
It gave it a good go, but that Yes and No type-in didn't quite manage to replace Geoff. But if you added a few more responses regarding Jetpac and Manic Miner it might.
Johnny the Ghost looks like a *really* good version of Sokoban. Those hang-rails are an interesting twist. Thanks, always loving your videos Paul. I wish I had that Fuller keyboard growing up (or the DKtronics one, especially since "DK" are my initials...)
I had 2 spectrums. One I got with Christmas money one year and the other I found in a jumble sale. The second one had a black enclosure in which the rubber key spectrum sat. It had big red keys that pushed down the rubber keys with pegs. It worked surprisingly well.
I had a 48K with interface 1 and two MicroDrives. I got the FDS keyboard and fitted the spectrum and IF1 internally and I also mounted the two MicroDrives on top. It was excellent.
ALways great to get to the end of the month and another episode. That keyboard does look great and I like the way those function keys work. Legend of the Amazon Women does look pretty dull.
I had a DK'tronics keyboard, but found the Lo Profile better - since it was lower. But unfortunately, some keys gave up and I switched back to the DK'tronics. Bit flimsy (with stickers instead of proper printing), but quite reliable.
We had Tribble Trouble back in the day. People who bang on about Dark Souls being difficult don't know they're born. I could only get as far as level 3 with the bouncing ball and the pins.
Technically, it's a remake of the Atari 8-bit game "Johnny the Ghost". Not sure if that was based on the GameBoy game or whether it was the other way round.
I was disappointed with mine, Too loud for my liking. I did fit my Kempston interface internally and mounted the joy port to the top where the sticker would have gone. But it kept crashing and trying to plug in or out anything on the edge connector meant opening up the keyboard so I got rid of it.
I've dealt with retailers and utility companies whose chatbots produce conversations less coherent, and _much_ less amusing, than yours. You should license it. Just throw in a few responses like _"Do you have a smart meter?"_ or _"What is your order number?"_ and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
