    I had a ZX Spectrum as a kid. Great games, but the best thing I had for it was the Spec Drum, which was an expansion pack with proper drum samples.
    My first drum machine. Gave me a good solid basis for understanding rhythm for later in life <ok>

    I had a ZX Spectrum 128k.
    Renegade was the best game ever



    Then I got an Amiga 500

    yup, made by the same company, Commodore (Also they were Chelsea's Shirt sponsors at the time :p).

    Loved my Amiga, till I dumped it for a 486 SX33 in 1995.

    Renegade was amazing. Think it was based on the film Warriors ?

    You can easily download emulators for all the old computers and consoles and play these games on your PC
    I had a two week non stop session revisiting all my old favourites a couple of years ago <ok>

    Another fave was Skool Daze. <ok>
