80's Computer games


Remember the past, when video games began
oh the joy when we typed load"", and out those sounds rang
we could enter a world of imagination, joy, terror
as long as we don't get the dreaded rtape loading error

For me ZX Spectrum was king
48k of pure power, we could do anything
those days games would last, more than an hour at best
most time spent praying to the gods of tape loading, if we're honest

The games we did play, was head over heels with batman, never wanted to go back to skool
A great escape, to spend three weeks in paradise, we could even Sim a city, how cool
Joined the jet set with willy, whilst getting dizzy over wizball
Lets go Mr Driver sang Nancy at Chase H.Q. as we boasted about it all

Through the trapdoor we went, to play with our heroes
when ants attack, when the fuse is lit, we need bomb jack, not zeroes
Robocop, died more times than i care to count on level one, just so much crime
but with Patience i cracked it about knight tyme

Sports fans, had a ball, no need for fresh air
match day, football manager, Emlyn Hughes, never need to leave our lair
we could conquer galaxies, take out trash hack the world,so much to see
just pray to the gods that your game is still running, when you get back from tea


Thanks for reading, this was a trip down memory lane.
Peace and Love.
Kyle.
