Zinc Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Originally posted by retroboy Does anyone have any photos of this old computer shop on carver street - spent many hours in this shop usually during school time. Think the guys that ran the shop where tony and greggs - and they where a few demo groups that use to go in - I have started a web site about the retro computer, just mirco and gremlin graphics - any input would be fantastic (you will get a mention and credit for photos etc. post memories here or send to antzz@********* regards to all who where there My oh my, used to spend hours in that shop. I remember seeing a BBC computer with Elite running on it, that shop gave my the inspiration to go out and buy my fist computer which was a 16k Sinclair Spectrum with the old rubber keyboard. Incidentally, Magnetic Fields created many games for Gremlin Graphics. Games like Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Supercars and Kid Chaos on the Amiga, I ended up working with the authors of those titles 'Shaun Southern' and 'Andrew Morris' when we created the number one selling 'NetworkQ RAC Rally Championship and International Rally Championship for the PC.

segasonic Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I often wondered what happened to Shaun Southern, his finest hour was Tutti Frutti on the C16/+4. A cross between Mr Do! and Pengo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
