I had the simpsons game for the Amiga, where you had to spray stuff! Never had the patience to keep trying to get past level one!

Well gotta admit I had a brand new zx81 when they came out. Boy were they toad - 1k memory as std!! Many hours spent typing in programs from books that never worked as either I or the publisher had made a typo. Never realised I'd spend so much time earning my wage, organising my life and learning stuff via the little feckers!!

Family computer originally was a prestel thing.

Then we had a Commodore 16+4
Then my brother got Atari 2600
Then an Amiga 500
then my other brother got an amiga 500+
I got a commodore 64
then a sega megadrive - japanese import one and then a whole load of exquisite japanese games and consoles, including wonderswan and neo geo and a supergun with a load of capcom cps2 boards. And spinny controllers to play forgotten worlds with.

Unfortunately I came from a poor family so I had a Commodore Vic20 when all my mates had a C64. Then when they all moved onto Commodore Amigas, the price of 64s came down and my mum bought me one of them. I was always one behind.

Bless.
