I ended up having a bit of a debate the other day in which system was the overall better retro home computer. So I'm putting it to you, which in your opinion would win in the home computer stakes?


For me it had to be the Amstrad CPC, it had everything I needed and a great monitor. It also had the best Dizzy soundtrack!

Moderators, any chance of a poll?
 
I'd say I'm very much biased on the fact that I had an Amstrad and it was also the green screen version. Every time I load up an emulator I always play Dizzy in green screen mode. I had played the spectrum at a friends house and to be honest my Amstrad just felt so much more
 
C64 does have the best remixes that's for sure ;)

Also to note that in part it's thanks to Commodore of the C64 that the Amiga came to be!
 
Trying to remember that news agents I used to visit as a kid, it was at Hempstead Valley shopping center which is now Argos. Nothing like going in and seeing all those lovely tapes all for about £2.99. Then buying any new magazine, such joy.

It's just not the same any more, I'm not talking about nostalgia as such but can anyone of younger age really say they get excited about picking up the latest games mag? or the thrill of picking up all games in general?

Where is the fabulous Amiga in this travesty of a poll?!

The Amiga was not included in the dominated era of the 8bit

I'm not sure how the c64 and such can be called "travesty", besides you can thank Commodore of the C64 for helping the Amiga ;)

Did you know that Commodore payed Atari to clean out the Debt owed by the Amiga?
