I would have to say the Amiga 500 with games such as Kick Off Lemmings & Cannon Fodder. Makes me want o get it down out off the loft now and set it up lol...

 

Have to say I think I agree with Kopite, although maybe not on the games. Thinking more Sensible Soccer, Champ Manager 93 I think it was, Heimdall and things like the original Another world, Leander etc! Some truly brilliant games back in the day!

 

Forgot about Sensible Soccer lol, also do you remember Speedball?

 

Speedball 2. Awesome game! When a team is called Brutal Deluxe, and you score points for hitting a side wall, you know its going to be good.

Sensi and Championship Manager were the nuts. Champ Manager Italia was even better. Cantona used to regularly score 100 goals a 34 game for me!

 

That wasn't the shop near to Central station in the 'undergroundy' bit was it? There used to be a pretty good games shop there if I recall from by ill begotten youth! Got a cheap copy of The Bard's Tale for the Amstrad CPC there once, two tape game for 3 quid! Absolutely loved it.

 

ZX-81 (because it was my 1st and introduced me to computing)
Spectrum 48k (because it was my 1st colour computer and the games were awesome - had a Speccy of one sort or another for 5 years)
Amiga A500 (because it was my 1st 'real' computing experience - with an operating system, multi-tasking etc...)
Amiga A4000 (because I still use it now!)

 

Amiga for me too - like others have said, Kick Off, Champ Manager and not forgetting all the Sierra games (which I still play now and again via DOSbox )

 

Amiga 500 for me, King of Chicago my first game for it, too many classic games to list. Upgraded my 1.2 ROM to 1.3, stuck in a Fatter Angus and a 68010, bought the ridiculous expensive A590 SCSI 20 MB hard drive.

Learning 68k asm and how to use the blitter seemed sooo cool !

 

I started out on the Spectrum 48k and had several over the years, but then moved onto an Amiga 500 and Workbench 1.2 and loved it, I wasn't sure before a mate of mine who got one showed me, like most Speccy guys we had a thing against the C64 and as the Amiga was supposed to be the follow on to it I poopoo'd it before seeing it (I was 12\13 at the time), as soon as I saw it tho... wow.

 

Is anyone getting the new Microsoft Xbox One when its out?

 

Yeah I live in Northants, but originally from Liverpool. Most of my family still live up that way (Crosby / Blundellsands). Went to a couple of different colleges and Uni in Liverpool so I know the place pretty well!

Well know it less well now, than I used to anyway.

Just had another memory of a joystick I bought at that shop also, a Competition Pro. The best joystick I ever had, it was awesome!

 

That looks like the mini version I had that and the full size version

Broke many joysticks playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon lol

Still got my Speccy and a box full of games etc along with the Currah speech synthasiser which was cool at the time

 

My first and favorite was a cpc 464 I had a colour screen with mine but at the time green screen was the most common. Loved dizzy , ghost busters, elite, feud and loads of others . Got through tons of joysticks on that and also had the add on cheat cartridge although I can't remember what that was called.

 

I had a C64, they had Datel Action Replay Cartridge or Trilogic Expert Cartridges, not sure what was on the CPC.

 

Action reply rings a bell, I think a Google is in order later... oo oo just remembered "laser squad" and "space hulk".
