Wow, its thirty years since the ZX Spectrum was introduced. Who'd have thought it.

ZX Spectrum, great stuff.
I learned programming on one.
What joy it was to read Crash magazine and code extra rooms in Jet-Set Willy.

Ah, yes, the Spectrum days were happy days! I'd aways assumed that Jet Set Willy was impossible until I saw a video of someone completing a walkthrough with the loss of only one life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MJQ7p3BkG8.
