Has anyone got any information about this old console?

A link or just general knowledge would be great. I just wanted to remember the old console because I haven't used one in ages.

Anyone?

Cheers.

well so did I, but they are from two different eras. it's the same as comparing the N64 to the XBOX, or the PS1 to the PS2. Both are great in their own way.

If I had to choose an all time favourite platform it would indeed be the Amiga, very closely followed by the humble PC.

Consoles are great, but tend to be fickle and not very long lasting. I mean, they're already talking about the xbox2 when the original one is only a couple of years old.

still, that's the fast paced world of gaming technology for you.

I am very glad indeed that I was there to see it happen, from it's infancy to the impressive spectacle it is today.

The microchip is a marvellous thing.

There were several Spectrums.

I had a +2 A and it was fantastic. Dick Tracy and Lotus Challenge were two of my favourite ever games.

My brother had a Spectrum ZX, I still remember playing Shinobi, Dizzy and Rambo after waiting ages for it to load.
