im giving away spare batteries for htc desire HD as mines broke.

[thetime]

Well my htc desire HD is broke beyond repair and I have 4 spare battieries(you can never have enough) for it, rather than just throw away or get a couple of quid on ebay I would rather someone get use from them on here.

So if anyones got htc desire hd or know of someone just give me a bell and I will put them in the post for you.

You wouldn't have a spare Disk 1 for Sensible Soccer on The Commodore Amiga by any chance?

or a cassette of Manic Miner for the Spectrum?

Nice offer to be fair mate. If I hasn't lost my HTC Desire in a strip club (pretty sure it was a brothel) in Barcelona I would've taken one but the 2x4s have my phone now.

Neil ..YES i have that here and provide picture evidence if you like

lol ... do you still play it?

(I don't really want it btw).

[The Nal]

I think I may have - I moved house a few weeks ago and found loads of old Amiga and MSX games - do you actually need one?

I still play it from time to time, but on an emulator. It's actually my favourite computer game of all time.

You can play it here

I can usually get to Attack Of The Mutant Telephones (level 11) every time I have made it to The Warehouse (level 17) in the long distant past, but its flippin' hard! Just about every platform is a disintegrating one.

I got to the end of it years ago, but it's possible (I can't remember now) that it was a changed version I got thru and not as it was published - a mate of mine (who just so happened was at the last efests glasto meet, as his missus has become an efester) used to hack the code to add in features and change levels, etc.

Seeing as we have completely hijacked the thread... closure at last. I never thought it was actually possible!

[eFestivals]

and seeing as we've hi-jacked the thread .... does anyone remember a game for those old computers (it might have been the Spectrum, but it might not) which was a skateboarder who skateboarded (in a sort-of 3D perspective) towards the bottom right of the screen, and had to jump the skateboard over things which included a Coke can*?

(* the arcade original defo had branded Coke cans, but I'm not sure if the 'computer' version(s) had branded cans or not).

The mate I've mentioned above wrote a version of it for one of the games companies - and they supplied him with an arcade machine which he had in his front room. He had to play the game to find out exactly what it did at every point in the game, and then reproduce all of that into the game he was being paid to program. At the time I thought it was the coolest job going, but nowadays I realise that just playing thru the game to find out everything it did was a mammoth task.
