this was my first venture into the entertainment of computer games and basic computing. Well I say mine, it was bought obviously by my father in 1984 when I was 4 years young.

Its a beasty Amstrad Colour (wooooo) CPC464.

It truely was a god amongst machines Laughing



just look at those fantastic colour keys to, brilliant. Bring back tape loading I say Laughing nothing quite like waiting 5 hours for a game to load only for a syntax error to pop up saying it all went tits up in the final 5 seconds because you left the tape slightly to near to the radiator Laughing
