Why not just pick up the original at fleabay?
Edit:
When the weather gets worse, I will take my copy of Jay Miner's[^] first chipset for a spin again. I never had one of the second 16 bit chipsets.
For those who are confused: The first chipset was for the 8 bit Ataris, the second one for the Amiga.

Oh , I already have two in the loft. Just like the two in the loft, I doubt any of the others are 100% functional. Not only that, but I'd have to buy a tape deck...

Tape recorders are hard to get by now. Did they use a regular one or did they have a special little recorder with motor control?

For my old computer I now use an old notebook which loads and saves the data in WAV files over the speaker and microphone plugs. I also have a program that can recover the binary data from the WAV samples. How about writing a digital tape recorder program with which you can archive everything from the old tapes?

Do you (or anybody else] know the name of the game which is displayed as background on dabs.com...?
It´s not Manic Miner, isn´t it!?

[/OffTopic]

how do you run it? if it was a dosbox game i´d think dosbox can be executed in a win10 Environment, but it Looks like it can be run without an Emulator!?
btw:
i´d think dosbox can be executed without major Problems using win10!?
edit:
sorry for the late reply, i lately had Problems trying to receive new emails...

I think that was about the price when first it came out?
Includes 'Chuckie Egg', 'Sinclair BASIC' and 'Game bundle (2) to access the device’s additional features and exclusive content
hmmm...I have no desire to program in basic I wonder if any other languages will be available?

Mine (48k) cost £129.99, though the prices had dropped by then. The 16k version retailed for £99.99, but few games worked.
According to this[^] ,they started off at £125 and £175 respectively.

Ahh fun! I remember having to memory upgrades for a couple of friends who had the 16K version to 48K, the sockets were there but no chips. I did do a mod for the key board to one of them as well!
Oh those were the days!

Forth and Z80 assembly, at least, I used them in the 80's.

Ah good old assembly, have done a bunch of it over the years. Never ventured Forth!

IIRC you had to write your own assembler - the BBC Micros had it built in you just put your assembly code between "[" & "]"
