The final game that reminds me of Dad , today is his funeral. #FlightSimulation , the hours he would spend trying to land this plane , or trying to take off. I am so lucky to have had a Dad who helped me to embrace the #ZXSpectrum . He was a lovely man and I will miss him #retrogaming

Today's modern #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #TheDark: Redux, from the genius that is #ZOSYAentertainment. It has a bit of a Doom vibe going on and is very atmospheric. You have enough energy to get you well into the game ( and addicted to it!) Highly recommended.

Games that remind me of my Dad #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #ZZoom It didn't take Dad long to find out you could shoot the people in this game. Indeed, it soon became his objective. He was really a peaceful man, yet this game seemed to release his inner rage!

I firmly believe he's somewhere better with fast cars and skiffle music!

Been to say goodbye to Dad today, we chose to have him wearing his Lancaster T shirt, he looked so peaceful.

Especially when it's at floor vibration level and right against the neighbour's wall

I agree there, I really can't believe this was 16K it's got such good graphics. But that was the Ultimate magic , every game a beauty

Games that remind me of my Dad #zxspectrum #retrogaming #Jetpac another game that really does not need to be amplified through a large radiogram, but Dad considered that the height of humour and spent a merry hour with 'farting' Jetman as it became known!

Games that remind me of my Dad #zxspectrum #retrogaming #Arcadia. Dad discovered you could connect the Speccy to a hi-fi to boost the sound. This game terrified the neighbours for a little while. It does NOT sound good amplified and not at maximum volume!

A couple of days after Dad passed away I was watching the security camera and saw this image in the sky . I like to believe it was Dad letting us know in the most unfrightning way he could that he had passed over okay #grief #deathofaparent #angel
