Hello from Bucklebury

Hi people, I used to spend hours with my QL but then life, a baby and Apple got in the way. I have just retired so took my QL out of its box to have a play. In the 80s a chap called Richard Alexander was big into QLs and ran a magazine called QL Adventurers Forum from his place in Pencader.
Hoping to find a joystick and adaptor to play some great games again. Great to be here.

A warm welcome! The QLAF scans are online at Dilwyn's website :)

Welcome to the forums, you will probably recall me (Rich Mellor) and Dilwyn on here from back in the day!

Richard Alexander still pops his head up on these forums once in a while.
