    The very first machine I had Sam was a ZX Spectrum Plus2.

    Next up was an Amstrad's CPC 464 Computer which was a big step-up and which was good because for the first time it came with its own monitor.

    Need sometime to think about what games I played.

    Yeah that’s what I’m talking about, I only have the PS3 myself as it’s the unlimited multimedia systems, I wouldn't have a 360 about the place, can you imagine trying to play with that big silly control pad of a 360?

    I’ll pm you my online username so you can add me if you like.

    I later upgraded to the ZX 128K Spectrum plus 2, as it had the built in tape recorder

    Games I enjoyed on the Speccy were:

    Dizzy
    Dragon's Lair
    Peter Pack Rat
    Au Weidersien Monty (from the Monty Mole series)
    Manic Miner
    Jet Set Willy

    The list is endless!

    My first computer was a Sinclair Spectrum 48K and I used to play a game called Choas (I was only a nipper!).

    How about you guys?

    The first console i owned was the SNES...those were the days,clunky cartriges with simple graphics....the memories....I have a PS3these days but i haven't used it in months...was playing RDR but lost interset and haven't bothered sense...
    I have lived a life of regrets.

    Think we had WordStar version 7 for creating letters / documents and Lotus 123 for calculations / charts etc.

    When I got my first job at about 13, I saved up and bought myself an Amiga 1200. I loved the Monkey Island games!

    Amiga ran off Workbench, an idea that Bill Gates seemed to have 'borrowed' to create the Windows system we use today.
