Just wondered if any members ever bought the Amstrad Action magazine and if you were one of those who played the Adventure Games does this bring back memories ? :)

I remember the Balg (as he was known)

He helped me finish Snowball which is still really really hard even now.

I'd be really interested if you had a Commodore 62, since I never knew a 62 had actually been created, and the 64 is the one my friend had (I only had a C16 +4) which is also binary equivalent of 01000000 and this a computing number ;-)

Finally, someone else who acknowledges the existence of the C16+

It was black, and the arrow keys where in the shape of arrows.

It also had a help button that never did anything.
