I was first exposed to this awesome computer when my father bought it from a garage sale. It came with a few games and I remembered my father telling me how he used to own a previous version and actually rented games on tape through a mail order company.
I remember going through some games looking only for movie titles and game compilations, some only came in tape form which wasn't what I was looking for.
Anyway, this was a sleek machine with a cool built in 3" disk drive which you have to switch sides to use up the full capacity. The disk was awesome and solid, none of the flimsy 5.25 inches or 3.5 inch type. This was hardcore.
The graphics were great even though it had 16 colors. However, I must admit some games were just bad ports from other 8bit computers and so sometimes used only 4 colors. It was also one of the few computers that had 80 column character displays. That was impressive back then.
What sets this computer apart from the rest is the fact that it had a built in disk drive and a matching monitor that was sold as a bundle.
