1985 and all that

Is it 1985 all over again? Not only has Live Aid been resurrected - though sadly not Nik Kershaw - but games from computers of that era are still being made, and on tape too. Retro publisher Cronosoft will be releasing new games for the ZX Spectrum and C64 on cassette and disc. "Emulators are great, but you just can't beat the feel of a real machine", said head honcho Simon Ullyatt. I've got a few issues with retro gaming but have to admire the obsession of the guys behind this, even if it is only likely to appeal to extreme collectors with a large supply of Azimuth screwdrivers.
