Hello there

I lived in The Netherlands in the 80's.

Back then in 1986 i saw our first computer , it was a commodore 64 , my friends already had it for years already but we had to wait untill the prices where a bit friendlier.
Nowadays i have 10 commodore 64's and repaired a few , just to keep these machines for future.
If you play a game on that machine you apreciate it more.
These new computers with almost real images in games are not so interesting and i think it is dangerous for children , they're losing there real life experiance.

If you play a game on an Amiga you're seeing that it is not real so it stays a computergame for you.

I started with a Timex-Sinclair TS1000. Then I got a TS2068, and eventually a Sinclair QL. The same year that I got my QL, I got an Amiga 1000.

Ah, the US version of the Sinclair ZX81. Now that is an old computer for sure, and definitely not that powerful.

Of course, the ZX81 does still serve a purpose and is quite useful...



As a door stop!

my first computer was a Lazer 100. Which was a TSR 80 clone now I see
Then I got C64 and finally an A500.

I had a 48k speccy! Good times. I also learned a few things with an amstrad cpc and a zx81.

The good old C64 started this adventure for me

You can get new membranes for spectrum keyboards to fix that. Have a look on Amibay.com

Before the Amiga I had a C64, an Atari 800XL and a Trs-80 Coco 2.
My first computer was a TRS-80 MC-10 with a 16k expansion. I learned Basic on it.

Although we did have Tandy electrical stores in the UK, stocking everything an electronics enthusiast might need such as components, soldering etc through to radio controlled cars, walkmans and TVs, we never saw the Tandy computers in the UK (at least not AFAIK), so I've never seen one, but have played around a bit with TRS-80 emulation.

What would you recommend as the best games released for the system for someone new to it to try out?
