@@PedroTP15 I wonder that is why the game Cloudpunk had a trophy called "Load "" " for finding an old game for an NPC, the games graphics were also very ZX spectrum but 3D.
Those times when you entered in several lines of code of BASIC from Your Spectrum Magazine, and then you forgot to save the stuff to tape, and somehow managed to accidentally enter the command "NEW", wiping out all your stuff in a second.
I never had that problem, but I had a spectrum +2 so you would have had to type NEW by hand, it was also Your Sinclair for me cos I'm not an old man yet :D But the problem I did have, which was a problem only people who had the +2 will know, was that my tape deck died so there was no way of saving anything I type in even if I wanted to. So yes, type everything in, and then admire it and power off to start something new, or watch it crash and have to start all again from scratch!!! Great computer.....no wonder I was a depressed child!
@@trefwoordpunk2225 The +2 had an auxilary output/input jack socket so you could connect it to a regular tape recorder. I would've told you thirty years ago but I was mesmerised by the loading screen counter on Indiana Jones.
@@nelsonhibbert5267 we tried various external tape decks at the time but nothing worked…eventually realised that the socket on the +2 was mono and only had tape out, I had the +2A (the black version) which had a stereo jack (like the +3 which had one channel in one channel out) but the +2A had both channels wired into one mono output channel, so using an external tape deck was not possible without performing a little mod.

@@trefwoordpunk2225 That sounds familiar, I can't remember how I got round the problem but I think it was through "pissing about a bit".

I seem to recall there being a faulty power lead or something, and my Dad soldered that in permanently because he was more of a solderer than a welder.....
Do you remember how to set this up? It is a bit of a lottery. Sometimes I get to see yello/blue stripes, but often not, and there are also some errors with "rewind to 26" and then the loading hangs. Which is weird, as tapes don't have "timestamps" or such. Setup is ZX Spectrum 48+ with Sanyo DR202A

@@Nexokus it was a joke. But there was something quite positive about having to wait for a game to load, it meant we always had to do something else and it hard scheduled in breaks.
I had a spectrum 48k the one with the rubber buttons I could load a game go have some food and then eventually play it ahh the good old days of paperboy and head over heels
It reminds me making sandwiches and then coming back to see it had crashed. Me and my mates were convinced that if you didn't watch the entire loading sequence it would know and deliberately fuck up when you'd left the room.
All these years later and I'm still annoyed at their decision to split the pixel data into three chunks, and load the top row of each chunk, then the next row and so on. It made it way harder than it should have been to calculate memory location->pixel location and vice versa.
I never understood that either. My first attempt at machine code was to write a screen clearing routine and the maths involved became a fucking nightmare. I haven't attempted programming since....
Of course you had to make sure the volume on the cassette player was set just right, otherwise the game wouldn’t load😂 My favourite game was ‘Haunted Hedges’ a Spectrum version of pac man.
You could LOAD the picture into some other part of memory (LOAD "" CODE [something],8192) and then use a FOR loop to PEEK then POKE each byte into the screen memory area. Or, use the silicon disk (RAM drive) to do the same thing (LOAD bytes somewhere, SAVE ! them to the disk and then LOAD ! them with SCREEN$). That's if you want the whole screen to appear at once. Honestly part of the charm is watching the picture be drawn.

Yes! That sound from childhood. And that basic language prompt))))
The time were more time loading the game then playing lol. Imagine something like that today,lol
Ever installed Call of Duty on the PS4? 😐
It's worse today ffs lol
You did not play Chuckie Egg 2 then... We could do runs of 8 hours on a single 5 minute load.
I'm surprised no one has made a ten hour version of this tbh
Challenge accepted!
It was called Robocop.
Still remember my dad saying, 'Load, dip dip, enter, play.'
Oh dear
This brings back memories of monty on the run
Good old times! The best!

Can I get an app for my kids phones that makes them listen to Spectrum loading sound for 10mins before they can play a game?
Why?
@@Nexokus it was a joke. But there was something quite positive about having to wait for a game to load, it meant we always had to do something else and it hard scheduled in breaks.
They're not born with patience we were so I wouldn't even bother. Stick a tape loading error on the end and their tiny little minds will melt down.
The 48k Spectrum soon got hot, and used to keep your lap warm. Probably caused fertility problems in 40-50 year olds.

Nice pic! Sounds like it's crashed at the end. Did you hit BREAK by accident? :D
Downloaded programs from the tape, just for the same sounds!❤
don't you just to feel like you're looking directly at slenderman while your image loads
Curious as to why you used PAUSE 1000.
If you do PAUSE 0 it waits until you press a key
@Stefano Pavone PAUSE 50 is one second. If PAUSE 1000 waits for a second then your emulator is broken.
Maybe he wanted a pause but did not want to press a key.

It's not scary. It just could be unpleasant for someone.
There were scarier things in the 80s. Like the sound of Jimmy Saviles jewellery jangling down the corridor....
