The comp, ZX Spectrum 82, was a present to me and my bro from our uncle. I was 4, he was 2 :) |
Ah good ol' Speccy, that was my first encounter with computers, 1982 as well, my friend got it and we used to hang out at his house all the time...I remember The Hobbit graphic adventure game that came out that same year, you know that old ones with a text parser...few of us were Tolkien fans and we played it extensively, it hooked me to adventure genre which is still my favorite.
My parents got me C64 next year (or was it year after that one, can't remember), and while I still played ZX occasionally at my friends, it was really painful after 'glorious' C64 visuals...people think console wars are bad, boy, they have no idea.
