Just to let you know the chat is on this Sunday at 9pm again. Due to the conversation being so much about Laird recently, we were thinking of renaming it the Kieren Hawken Fan Club, but that might not increase the attendance! Hope to see some of you there on Sunday 9pm anyway--the link is in my sign...

I definitely prefer forums to Facebook, no question, but for now the conversation seems to be happening on that site for the most part. I hope somehow it changes in the future

I'll really give it a go this Sunday. I think I'm free. The chat is quite irreverant, and this weekend we will still be on the potential lookout for The Laird who you will surely know has made a little bit of news recently. But he didn't turn up last week so I doubt he will be back again. See you f...

A topic for you to discuss: ZX Spectrum sales numbers. The total is 5 millions I believe. 15% of those were the Amstrad made Spectrum +3, roughly 750 000 machines. I can only assume more Spectrum +2 were made. How many Spectrums did Sinclair make? How about russian clones, Timex and maybe other pro...

Yes, the Retro Gaming Chatroom hosted on Discord is on this weekend, Sunday 9pm to be precise, so I hope some people who are brave enough can join the entertainment when it begins, and it won't just be about slagging off the Amstrad either. We will talk about non-Sugar related items if you like. Spe...

Just a quick note to say that the Retro Gaming chat is back on after the christmas break, so if you want to join in, it's from 9pm tonight, and the link is in the signature of this post. I hope to see some of you there

It is Christmas week and the retro chat is running this Sunday. The link to the discord chatroom is in my signature. I hope to see you from Sunday 9pm :wink: And now here is an updated tale for the festive season: __________________________________A CHRISTMAS CAROL___________________________________...

Tails is seen as the Scrappy Doo of the series which is quite an insult when you think about it

Steady on now, I never said he was famous.

Fair enough If there's a middle ground between fame and obscurity, then that's all that guy could ever remotely claim to have reached.

To be fair to Fletcher, he got to be a director of Hollywood blockbusters on the back of a successful acting career that started way before Gamesmaster. Perry, on the other hand, came out of obscurity and went back there when it finished. When did he come out of obscurity?? The guy has never been f...

It finally happened, we were all sat at the computer at the same time and was in the same place in cyber-space! I found out, chatting requires quick-thinking and the ability to talk freely, calling up different stuff to talk about, to make a good conversation - my mind has trouble doing this. Anywa...

It has been a dreadful week for holidaymakers that have dealt with Thomas Cook: the company goes bust and all package holidays are void. People tried to re-book flights on other airlines and found the prices tripled overnight. It really does redefine the definition of a bad purchase. I actually boug...

And it all starts again from this Sunday at 9pm. You can talk about anything no matter how right-wing, as long as it isn't to do with the Amstrad of course, and the link to join is in the signature of this post. I hope to see you there on Sunday evening from 9pm onwards

Yes, we are here again tonight from 9pm. Come on if you are bored enough. Tonight we are starting a poll to find the worst Amstrad game ever made. Only the very, very worst games can be considered because we simply don't have the time to go through them all. This week it'll be games starting with th...
