"What were your favourite c64 games? My husband used to play one with a little man digging around, collecting cherries I think. It may have had Freddy in the title. "
Frantic Freddie? I don't think that was cherries though.
I used to love The New Zealand Story and the Dizzy games, pretty infuriating at times. James Pond 2 Robocod had some exciting looking levels to me at that age.
I've tried some emulators but it's not the same, having to sit through 3 minutes of loading screens is part of the experience that's lacking  |

I had c16 then the 64.
Am a full loving gamer but found games then were just so better lol yes graphics and story etc now are amazing but I always struggled to beat games and the nightmare of dying and then having to rewind the tape etc to load point was nightmare.
Love the retro I always look at the c64 on Amazon and tempted to get now |

"I went to the Natural History Museum and noticed the exoskeleton of a Sinclair ZX81. "
our first was the zx80 with 3k expansion then the 81 with a unbelievable 16k omg, we struggled to imagine how you could use up all that ram |

"ZX Spectrum 48k rubber keys for me.

Roll a golf ball across the Z & X keys, to make Daley run faster. Sadly it used to eventually damage the keyboard as a result |

You and your C64 versus the Spectrum arguement - ha!
What about the Vic20 versus the BBCb or if you want to be really lame the Amstrad thing against the Orac?
I am so so old. |

"I still have a zx81 in its box with 8kb (I think it was) ram expansion at my dad's.
And the book with all the games to program in to it.
Great machine to learn coding. "
If only I'd stuck at it.
Got a speccy and it was all tapes. Then elite came out and I was lost to that. |

Now you're making me think you were involved in either one of the games or the emulators  |

""The Way Of The Exploding Fist" and "Twin Kingdom Valley" were my favourites.
And then I discovered the opposite sex...and it all went downhill after that.  "
That’s okay. Most of us started going down once we’d discovered the opposite sex. Others once they’d discovered it was okay with the same sex too. |
