So many days spent screaming in frustration playing these bastard games on the Amstrad CPC 464.

This one was also the business and insanely adult orientated for the time.

Having had a couple of the Dizzy games I never knew what the **** was going on. I recently watched a lets play video like above and I still can't make sense of the game. No idea how it was popular.

18 Minutes to complete Treasure Island Dizzy.... Pretty sure i lost days to that game!

Can I have my 52 seconds back, please?
(Yes, even though I watched less than half of it, I still want my time back)

I much preferred dialing 171 and running quietly up the stairs, waiting for brother, sister, mother to run out to the phone and answer a non existent phone call. Cordless phones have stolen us of such simple moments!

I was up in the Parent's attic last year looking for something and found the packaging for my first mobile phone. I think it was around Oct '98 when I got it.

Anyways as I no longer had the phone, my sister had it after me and lost it, I put a search on ebay and got one recently for 99p in the UK. Massive thing! Only problem is I have no charger but I didn't realise everything except the phone and charger was in the box, which I only opened last night.

Brings back memories!

I still have the same mobile number today! :cool:

I used to love this game, you put the ball at their foot and press the heads to make them kick. Hours of fun as a kid with this.

everlast75 · 18-02-2015 01:59PM

Loved this game - started me on D&D and then Warhammer... good times

Homestead, ag teacht cun tí..

McChubbin · 21-02-2015 09:23PM

Used to absolutely adore these growing up in the 90s. So much sugar, though. Good old fashioned, stick-to-your-teeth goodness!

I'm told you can still get them in certain shops but I'd given up hope of ever finding them after a long and fruitless search.
Then, today, I was in Tiger in the Pavillions and I found that they sold their own brand of what I and t'Mammy called "Midget Gems".
Currently munching away on a handful of them right now!

blastman · 23-02-2015 03:47PM

These are Midget Gems, I remember them well. There's probably one or two still stuck to my teeth!

Toys inside cereal boxes - because of stupid kids that swallow them :mad:

I only found out this wasn't a thing any more recently - when did that change come about? I'm not even old either!

Ah, you're missing the fiúntas! Need the value!

"Homestead-Fiúntas, ag teacht chun tí" I think Homestead and fiúntas were nearly said on top of each other.

I think it says 50p but still, a lot.

marcbrophy · 08-03-2015 02:21PM

^^^

It was definitely 80p.
I remember it being an 80/20 price plan.
5 whole minutes for £1 at evenings/weekends :pac:
