^ Brilliant.
I remember using the BBCs at primary school.
RE: Everything 80's - GMach1 - 17-10-2018 18:50
When I got to main school I found out they had a computer room and BBC Micros that I had been watching the programmes about. I also remember another machine the 380Z which was used. I spent a lesson once programming the BBC Micro with a dating program - thankfully it worked but it took ages to type it out.

^ That's a brilliant list too rpj316, Robocop a brilliant 80's classic and Midnight Run with Robert de Niro, I remember when me and a mate of mine tried counting the amount of F-bombs in that film but we lost count lol, brilliant film.
RE: Everything 80's - GMach1 - 19-10-2018 16:52
I'd do one but I stopped going to the cinema from 1983 up to 1988 when the first film I saw was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The cinemas just didn't have a lot of films that appealed to me without resorting to violence and swearing. The last film I saw was with my Dad in 1983 and that was The Return of the Jedi.

Thanks mate,yeah Midnight Run has plenty of quality swearing throughout
amazing that when it was released back in '88 it didn't make as much money at the box office as expected.I'm so glad more and more people have discovered it now.

The categories that used to exist in cinemas before they changed them in I think it was the late 80's or 90's were:
U-Suitable for all mums dads kids grannies etc-mostly twee Disney stuff and cartoons.
PG=Suitable for older kids more with parental guidance(PG)
A-Adult but you could get into it with an older person. Mild violence or swearing.
AA-Accompanied(adult but you needed an adult to get you in) violence mostly, swearing etc.
X-Xrated-well that was obvious and you had to be 18 and over usually contained sex, swearing and violence.
Changed to: (using years of age for the last 2)
U
PG
PG12, PG13(brought in to replace PG12) could contain mild swearwords, possible sex references.
15 violence and swearing, mild sex references etc
18 swearing and sex mostly, violence and scenes of drug misuse etc. All depended on which film you saw.
Remember the adverts for ice cream, hot dogs and drinks for the interval OR the usherette coming down the aisle with a tray of ice cream tubs with a wooden spoon you weren't sure which way up it went(until they introduced the plastic shovel-type) "feeling hungry? why not visit the kiosk for a hot dog or one of our range of soft drinks" and one we had "Now it's time for ICE CREAM! Try a KING CONE, available in the foyer now!"
If you went to a local cinema you envariably got an advert for something that was close "come to Smith's emporium for all your shopping needs...just four minutes from this cinema."
Also in those days you got your money's worth with a shorter film or cartoon short, a travelogue, interval, then the main feature.

have you ever plugged it in lately? We had the spectrums in our house (all three blew up and are sadly no longer with us) and the games were loaded by tape often we hsd to turn the tape over when we reached a certain point. I think there is a good emulator for all the old speccy I trialled a while back and played the minder game quite few times. Might delve back into getting one some point to bring back fun memories. Anyone ever complete any of the Leisure Suit Larry series (the originial games)?
Any how, Here's the link for all the spectrum lovers of the forum : - (I'm sure there must be something similar for the CP64 lovers too!!)
