      Tape deck, ordenary settings, but the spectrum dont know what the spectrum is getting. An 8 bit home compuer with everything to play without paralax scrolling.
      Time flies, doesnt seem a minute, since the CRT had raster bars on it. Its loaded, dont you know when your playing this level, theres no such thing as a pause menu.
      Its Amiga, or Commodore, or Atari, or this thing.
      One night with Sinclair and you'll hate the buttons. They are squishy, and they smell like pee. You'll find your games inside a Sony Walkman, you probably own less than three. Its pronounced zed, not zee.
      One systems very like another, when your heads down over the keyboard brother.
      Its a drag its a bore, it's really such a pitty to be messing with a cord, not playing yet another Dizzy.
      Whadya mean, you played one boring, difficult game...
      PC, warm, neat, playing Keen on Dos would be sweet.
      Tapes fried, your talking to 80s purest, whose virginity ranks amongst the very sureist.
      One night with Sinclair and you'll hate the buttons. They are squishy, and they smell like pee. You'll find your games inside a Sony Walkman, you probably own less than three. Its pronounced zed, not zee.
      This game is gonna be a witness to the ultimate test of my fingers fitness. This grips me more than any old COD or Battlefield.
      Thank God im playing the game, controlling it.
      I dont see IGN rating the genres im still playing. I'd let you watch, I would invite you, but the games I play would not excite you.
      So go back to your Xbox, your PS4, or your Nintendo Switch
      One night with Sinclair and you'll hate the load times, They take forever, like the wii. You'll find your games inside a Sony Walkman, youll accidently try to play Queen. Its pronounced zed, not zee.

    Traveling in a fried-out combie
    On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
    I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
    She took me in and gave me breakfast
    And she said
    Do you come from a land down under?
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover
    Buying bread from a man in Brussels
    He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
    I said, "do you speak-a my language?"
    He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
    And he said
    I come from a land down under
    Where beer does flow and men chunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover, yeah
    Lyin' in a den in Bombay
    With a slack jaw, and not much to say
    I said to the man, "are you trying to tempt me
    Because I come from the land of plenty?"
    And he said
    Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

    STRAYA ADVENTURES: A Gameboy-style rpg, with the biggest characteristic being hostile mobs literally everywhere including towns and sometimes your house if you don't take care of it well. A really big city? Hostile mobs are seldom, but there's that one flying mob that has a chance of stealing your food item if you're about to eat it. On roads, there is a high chance that another kind of flying mob will attack you randomly and persistently. Get into the water, encounter one-hit-kill mobs. Giant spiders not limited to caves.
    Also the potions are beer and chocolate milk.
