Re: Games we never had

That's great, thanks Zephyr. Is there a Dragon version of Blitz? That is a game where you have to bomb the skyscrapers from an aeroplane, as it gets progressively lower and then either crash into a building, or land? And what about Choplifter? I am really interested to see the games that push the sy...

Re: Games we never had

Is there a version of Tetris for the Dragon? I was pleased that even the VIC 20 got a Tetris program a few years ago (having missed out first time round). It's surprisingly good.

Re: I got a Dragon 32!

I got a Dragon 32!

I have just been given a Dragon 32 (on long term loan). I never had one in the 80s, we had a VIC 20, then a Spectrum +3.
I always thought that the Dragon machines looked pretty good though.
Anyway, the one I got, it seems to work, so I'll be trying a few things out.

A great addition to my collection.
