This was a great machine. The old version was still the best. I had only the newer version which I didn't seem to like. Look how tiny this computer is.
You can create games on it just by typing them from magazines. You can run commerical games and demos from tapes. Those must have been incredible days. The anticipation of something exciting and great.
Now, it's a quick download here and there, install huge files on hardisks etc etc etc. The gaming experiencing is far move absorbing today, but it doesn't have that anticipating excitement of old.
I simply love those 8 bit graphics. I guess it allows me to use a lot of my imagination. It's like reading a book vs graphical novel. The latter has great graphical content but sometimes doesn't have the same impact as a good wriiten book.
