  1. Seeing an Amiga screenshot on the back of a Spectrum game would make me drool. Robocop 2 in 16bit colour? That was the stuff of legends that only the older kids had. I adored the Spectrum but my first Amiga is probably the gaming love of my life - The Blues Brothers, Toki, Titus the Fox, etc.

  10.  @stuartedwards6996  Not really, it had better graphics at the expense of some crap ports and a smaller catalogue of games, the 16bits were the computers that blew us away when we saw them. Finally we could see where all of the high quality screenshots on the back of our spectrum game cases came from.

  16. Every gamer knew how to use the keyboard in those days, joysticks were for consoles. QAOP or ZXPL were the controls of the day.

  17. Inflation has nothing to do with it, prices went up because games can no longer be created in a bedroom over a weekend by one person.

  19. The kid who smelled of onions and sat on his own at lunchtime would have an Amstrad CPC with the tiny green monitor.

  20. They would throw it on the floor and set fire to it, these are Brit kids, if it doesn't have a keyboard then it's not for gaming!
