I own a ZX Spectrum...
...and I like it...
pretty good.
[link]brb trying to load Robocop from tape for the 50th time. Maybe THIS time I won't get a read error!
tapes rule!
oh yea, and these were made on the single channel beeper of the 48k model (no sound chip)

actually lets go off on a tangent. tim follin was amazing
[link][link][link]mmmmmmm..... chip tune genius...
I got a C64 with a tape deck too. Love that system even more! Though my video chip is defective.
And yea the SID is unbeatable.
I want an Amiga 600 but they're kinda rare around here. Unfortunately I never grew up with 8-bit computers. Before I was born we had a Tandy, but then I came along and it was 486 and IBM compatibles for me.
It did allow me to grow up using MS-Paint all my life though...
Have you ever had the chance to look at one of these? [link]
It's an expansion cartridge for a C64 with built in VIC-II chip for VGA output, but not only that it's an entire C64 system on a FPGA chip. So it doubles as a miniature standalone C64. It's even got a RAM expansion unit (16MB I think).
Not that cart in particular. The standalone feature is pretty neat. I might look into getting one.
too expensive though.
i'll just get the $25 system locally posted as a replacement. surely the VIC won't suck this time.
