I think it is fabulous that these old machines are still working! Nothing has ever really gone out of date hasn't it?

I mean there are still demos coming out on the Spectrum, some of them are outstanding, and also I would stick my neck out and say that the Spectrum has some of the best games on any platform.

Quazatron (Isometric paradroid and much better).
R-Type (The best conversion, although the Amiga was almost arcade perfect, the Spectrum version was much more playable).
Tetris (Even better than nintendo gameboy version).
Operation Wolf (much more fun than the arcade, even without the light gun and the fact that it took about 25 mins to load on a speccy 128!).

Happy birthday Speccy!
