I borrowed my brother’s ZX Spectrum until I got an Amiga 500 in 1990. I still have one today. The games though are impossibly hard compared to today’s games. Kids of the 80s and 90s had to have so much more patience!
My neighbour at uni thought so too and swapped his Atari ST for one after he took mine for a spin. I miss that era of computing when there were lots of different competitors. ST did have inbuilt MIDI and early Cubase though.
We had an Apple 2c…it had a 128 kb hard drive! That was a big deal back in 1985. I had the first Fallout game on it and an RPG called Bard’s Tale that really sucked. We also had Zork and other Infocom games that were text based.
