Yup had that joy, still got some tapes somewhere, I wouldn't throw them out when we moved house, like the 200 or so Amiga games I've got there still in boxes along with the Amiga

The second ed of this is now out:

Anyone who has read about Jack Tramiel before would think that Gates took some of his 'business' ideas from him....

Bunch of newbies.

 

My first was this little beast - Tangerine MICROTAN 65 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Even programmed Game of Life on it with the help of my dad.

 

Of course, it was seven years old by the time I got my hands on it...

Lordy !! Have not seen one of those for years. We had one in school - first got my mits on it in 1982. Seem to recall one of the older students programing a 'snake' game on it which was rather good.

Also seem to remember the keyboard being built like a tank and it certainly had a unique sound when typing away on it.
