First off, I just want to say how thrilled I am to see the good old plus/4 getting a resurgence on the net.My little plus/4 was the first computer I owned, and where I learned to program, so to get a chance to revisit those days is absolutely brilliant.
I'll just respond to some of the other questions put on the board before making my query.
It's hard to say, but I think my favourite games at the time were either Jack Attack or Voidrunner.
As for the first game I bought...I seem to remember it being a Mastertronic platform game, but I cannot remember its name at all. Of course there were the eight or so games I got free with the computer when my parents bought it, some of which were really very good (Number Builder, Icicle Works). Incidentally, did anyone ever get past the second stage of "Harbour Attack", cos I never did...
One of the best things about the plus/4 for me was the absoulutely brilliant BASIC that it had. I remember a C64-owning mate going green with envy when I showed him what I could do with it. in terms of colours, sound and graphics. I really would like to get back into programming it again, now that I've got an emulator (WinEMU), but my old BASIC manual is festering in the corner of an old attic somewhere, and I can only remember so much. Does anyone know of anywhere that I could accquire a copy, electronically or otherwise? i would be really grateful if you could help with this, thanks
