Andyman's Zzap64 adventure

Following our chat on Shoutbox I unearthed this from my Zzap archive.

Enjoy..

Unfortunate as it was, I got beat

! Old pictures of people when they were teenagers! Love 'em. They're always good for a laugh. The Mrs loves laughing at mine.

Good read though. I especially like:

"Andy Moss turns up with his own joystick - the mark of a true professional"

 

[Alpha1]

Looks like you wiggle your joystick to Zzap and not me mate!!

 

[Equites]

Lol, quality...

 

[muddymusic]

That's great, thanks for sharing. Andy you haven't aged a day...well maybe just a few.

 

[Guests]

its not the days that's aged him its the decades.

 

[andyman]

Only 2 full ones in between then and now + 7 or so

We stopped over there a few times, was awesome, got to play all the pre release review games before anyone else saw them. All went sour when my mate Chris *apparently* nicked a copy of the Spy vs Spy development release and spread it around the 64 scene.

Still not sure he did but Julian & Gaz were thanked on the pirate release as the providers and the friendship was lost

Loved the C64 days, almost as much as the arcade days and have some great memories.

Cheers Stu, I think

Andy.

Haha nice one.

At least you never had a mullet anyway Andy.

 

[gridrunner]

I feel like printing out the 2nd page, going to my barbers, pointing to Gary Penn's hair-do and saying 'I want one of those': Only I don't have enough hair left to construct such an edifice and the CFC ban probably did for the hair spray.

I'll make a PDF of the extract so you can all read in it's full glory. Andy if you'd like it for posterity, PM me

[andyman]

Already have a good scan but cheers for the offer Stu

 

[Bensonrad]

[andyman]

And drank (all) of his Vodka over a weekend

Andy.

I remember that article! I have every issue...my parents sold my C64 but I still bought the magazine and made tally's of the games I was missing out on. They caved in and bought me another one

 

[strykr]

a true professional brings his own joystick

i'll echo others sentiments, well done for not having a full mullet!!
