hi Chris

Firstly welcome to the club, theres loads of information on this site about buying an FD / FC / FB and if you have any questions or want opinions then we will help you out best we can.

my best advise is buying a member\'s car over a unknown import. If you need some help looking at a car let me know i\'m living in Leeds. Where abouts in west yorkshire are you?

They still make worms I believe, not played games for about 5 years now since leaving EA, had the life drained out of me LOL

Old is when you remember the commedore VIC 20 with tape loading and it had a massive 3K of ram and you were chuffed when your mam bought you the 16K expansion pack.
I then traded that in for my first console which was a colecovision bloody brill, old im only 34 and have played every computer thats been made for mass market

vic 20
spectrum
C64
amstrad
atari
amiga
nec

just to name a few.

I wasted so much time as a youngster playing all 4 of the above games (Im trying to remember the cheat for Alien breed that made you walk through walls!). They were well good. Was Creatures made by Team17? I can\'t remember.
 Anyone remember the Acorn electron? that was my first computer before the C64, Amiga etc

My Amiga had 1 whole megabyte of RAM !!

worms and alien breed were great, my favourites were Cannon Fodder and Syndicate
