Did anybody have a QL?

stupidget · September 2016

When I was at school in the mid 80's our computer department decided to buy a QL. I remember using one of those 'Turtle' type programmes where you would type 'PEN Down, U10, R10, D10, L10' to draw a square. Was there ever any good games for the system or was it purely released as a business computer? I've seen a couple go on eBay for about £50 so I was thinking about getting one.

I have never used a QL, although I have two of them

I've got a boxed one in my study but I have yet to plug it in and use it.

The only thing I know about it is that the Psion tennis game is brilliant.

I'm currently working on a QL text adventure and I recently did the graphics for this new release:

That adventure game looks great and I like the graphic style.

If I were to get a QL how would I go about loading software that I might not have on microdrive? Obviously on my speccy I can load games from my iPhone but is there an equivalent way to do this with a QL?

Wasn't Pawn originally written for the Ql?

There was a few games. I believe several of the platform games were quite good, and the chess was very good.

Voyage of the Beano was a great adventure too.

Your best bet with a QL is getting a floppy drive set up or SD card drive :)
