ZX81 and Atari 600 XL .

My dad got me the ZX81 for Christmas but didn't realise you needed a tape recorder so i had to wait 5 months until my birthday for a tape recorder. Was worth the wait, the games were awesome in my 12 year old mind. The atari was my dream gaming pc :)

Commodore PET that i loved to use for Qbert

Also had an Olivetti M20 that i used for write, draw etc...used to have to use about 3-4 5 1/4 floppies to load DOS and then you could load the very basic programs using another 3-4 floppies.

But also had a commodore C16/plus 4 that i loved learning BASIC on and for playing games...liek the Vic 20 it took forever to load most of them and most would fail to load. I had the floppy drive that half the size size of a briefcase and the dot matrix printer that was the size of a small fridge. :D
