Where do they play on Spectrums?

From Alexey Ignatov → To All 17 September 1997
Hello All!
In which city is the respected Spectrum now widespread as
it was like five years ago everywhere?
On my Pentium 166mmx 32ram especially for the emulator
there is a 5 inch flop. Sometimes out of nostalgia I launch Bruce Lee
and other games no less dear to my heart.
The very first Spectrum I I bought it for 1000 rubles, I don’t remember in what year.
I clearly remember that while saving up money for it, I denied myself everything.
So great was the desire to have such a cool computer for those times.
Considering that the previous computer I had was a LIC-specialist on which
there were no graphics at all.
Who else has nostalgic memories of the Spectrum, write .
Alexey .

well, it looks like it was quite early. I bought a self-made spec for 1500, which at that time was the monthly budget of my family :)

and I clearly remember how I bought it from my father for half a year

I had radio-86 (maybe someone still remembers it), of course there were no graphics there, there
there was pseudo-graphics 128x64 of these squares, although it was cool to create drawings
in BASIC... BK0010-01 after it seemed like a supercomputer :))

There are two large suitcases of such memories :) but I’m afraid they won’t support us...

And I remember.. In the year 90.. In the summer.. I bought a Leningrad board for ~350 rubles. at the Tushino radio market, which stubbornly did not want to work. The bastard sellers sold it to me as if it was working, but I also saved for it long and hard.
It was a shame, it was terrible!
Then I bought another board, also Leningrad, but for 470 rubles. I was so happy when it started working! The monitor was a b/w Ladoga-205 TV, to
which I added a low-frequency video input. Then I bought an open-frame monitor
Electronics-6105 (later converted to VGA for my first 386sx-40, but
that was already in 94).
Then I polished up that first Leningrad board and, having sold both Leningrads, I bought
the Pentagon-128 board for 3500 rubles. and 2 disk drives for it. It was cool! The feeling
this can only be compared with the first Leningrad and the first IBM.

Well, come on! Somewhere around that time I bought the entire Spec with keyboard and power supply
for 90 rubles, if not 75... It was, of course, a 48 and a cassette. :) Now he is somewhere with a friend, who, in turn, is in places not so remote, so it is not known when he will return to me. And then I swapped an Atari 65XE with a bunch of cassettes and an m-phone for a SCORP 256, which didn’t even have a shadow monitor, it was one of the first Scorps bought personally from Zonov, now it is, of course, and still stands next to my PC, more precisely at a distance of
one meter... ;)

Hello, Dmitry!
It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Dmitry Zubarev to

With all kinds of regards and wishes.
