I remember pestering my dad for about 6 months leading up to christmas. i kept telling him how fantastic my cousins zx spectrum was with its 48k of memory and kempston joystick interface. i told him you dont need to buy games as i could copy my cousins games.
Christmas morning came and in the middle of our living room was a huge box. i opened it up and there it was...... the acorn electron with a huge (and i mean huge) interface which had 2 slots in for rom cartridges and a couple of joystick ports. I also got 2 games for this monster of a machine Repton (which is basicly boulderdash) and the classic beach head. my father told me that this computer was for my education and that a spectrum is just a games machine. what a terrible xmas, all the other kids with there speccys and comadores laughed at me.
