Re: Spectrum? Amstrad? Atari?
I started out with a ZX81 then onto something called a 'Grundy Newbrain' which nearly became the BBC Micro. They are rare now and valuable - unfortunately it got lost years ago in a house move.
My first hard disk was a 5MB 2nd hand thing the size of a house brick and I had to drive down to Manchester to collect it from someone. Now I've got a drive on my desk which is 200,000 times that capacity in the size of a paperback.

I'm getting all nostalgic about the old games - remember the first version of Simcity? I downloaded it the other day from one of those abandonware websites.

Remember the binatone consoles? 
I had one in black and white and it had a dodgy tennis game on it!

For a laugh I used to reprogram my opponent's (usually my brother) paddle so it would move slower around the screen and he would always lose

ZX Spectrum (Jumping jack rocked!!)
Amstrad CPC 464 (With a colour screen too....... wooooo hooooo)
Amiga 500+ and even pushed the boat out and got a second disk drive!!!
First PC had a Cyrix processor (how sh*t were they) and a whopping 850MB hard disk drive!!! Running games through DOS, those were the days!!!
