Yes it was! Shut up! No arguments! Colour clash was cool! And the rubbery keyboard was awesome! La la la la I can’t hear you!

Oh, Horace, I miss you.

Anyway, on Saturday a Spectrum emulator appeared on the App Store, with fourteen games included. Whether they’re licenced or not, I don’t know, so I expect the app to be taken down before long. I’m glad I grabbed it, though. The controls are slightly annoying, it seems like it might be running a bit fast on my 3GS and there’s no way add more games – but I had a genuinely enjoyable time lying in bed on Saturday morning playing Horace Goes Skiing, Deathchase, Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, etc.

The controls made ladders difficult, but I still had fun.

Shame that I hate level three of Chuckie Egg as much as I always did. And was Wheelie always that hard, or is it just the controls?

I know people have issues with the controls and emulation, but as a nostalgia rush – and that’s the name, after all – I’m not going to be complaining.
