There's a disturbing lack of Spectrum games appearing on here, so here's a favourite from my youth (and kids say current games are frustrating!):

That egg caused by more stress than any other object to appear from a chickens arse (I have quite a long list on this subject).

Fantabulous. I have over 85GB of ZX Spectrum Nostalgia on some bluray discs. Gonna take a lifetime to get through the lot. Even longer now that Elite is here.

Emulation is my thing, if anyone wants any help!!

You will need a Amiga Stunt Car Racer ROM.

You`ll also need the winUAE installer from here

http://www.winuae.net/

You`ll probably need to get the Amiga Kickstart ROMS as well, you`ll need to google them.

Or you could get the value edition of AmigaForever from here

http://www.amigaforever.com/

Which I highly recommend, because its A LOT easier getting games to work with it.

Cheers Combi. Do you know if Stunt Car Racer is one of the games in the value edition?

How does amigaforever work? Is it "plug n' play"? I'm not fond of editing system files and what not. :)

I`m not sure if its one of those that is included. And yes, it is `sort` of plug and play. It works a little bit like an MP3 player, as the software that runs it is called a Retroplayer. I`m going to install my premium edition (I normally just use winUAE) so that I can better give you some help. If I have it in front of me I can write you a little instruction booklet.

Thanks Combi. I'll let you know if and when I take the plunge. :)
