It was an extra special show as we had a real life C64 in the studio, loading games in real time and getting the real life sounds of the SID Chip over the air waves! We also had Little Computer People on the webcam who, as per usual, didn’t do as they were told!

It was a little bit silly. Just a little bit… :D

 

Many of you will know I am a complete retro computer geek. Specifically Commodore 64 and 16, but I collect other systems like ZX Sinclair Spectrum, Atari, Coleco, etc. Back in the day I used to program games and adventures and do all sorts of fun things with them. Easy tiger.

Anyway, back in the mid 80′s a company called Melbourne House released a text adventure called “Hampstead”. For the uninitiated a text adventure is a game where you type in a series of commands and you try and solve puzzles and pick up objects and find treasure, etc. It’s very much like reading a book. You create the locations in your imagination :)

The aim of Hampstead was not just to reach Hampstead, but to attain it. Questions and answers posed on the advert below included:

Questions people ask about Hampstead:
Q: Is there life after Hampstead?
A: No, Only before and during…

Q: Why do dustbins have no lids in Hampstead?
A: In order that passers-by may see the week’s completed Guardian
crosswords stacked neatly within…

As I now live not far away from Hampstead I am determined to complete this classic game and therefore attain my own version of Hampstead and hopefully my own bicycle with a basket ;)

Check out Hampstead on World of Spectrum and get yourself an emulator to attain Hampstead with me :)
