Christ, it's like being back at school.
I was one of only two Amstrad owners in my year. We had to put up with lots of shitty games which were ported directly from the Spectrum.

I had a 6128, but we'd plug it into the boombox so we could play tape games.

I had a 6128 as well!
I think. It was a long time ago, and the passage of time has made the numbers a blur.

I still have a Spectrum +2
Then again, I have a bit of a collection of old home computers.
My favourite is my BBC Micro. It's one of the first off the production line (my Dad pre-ordered it).

The Amstrad
was like the Liberal Democrat of the 80's home computing world.

I jumped on the bandwagon after that
and got an Amiga, along with most of the Spectrum owners. Then we ganged up on the Atari ST owners.
