Pah! The Amiga was only a badge of honour if you'd experienced upgrading from your Vic 20 to your Commodore 64 first.

As far as I remember, the Vic20 or C64 made no noise when it loaded from tape? I bought a floppy disk drive for about £150, huge great 5 1/4" things!

I had a Commodore 64 as a youth and it taught me many things but it didn't teach me how to get off the streets of Golden Cross and become a ****ing hustler.

Last time we got ours out (the C64) it still worked along with the original Atari Gaming system. Never cheated at Hobbit and never got remotely near completing it. Much like the book which I tried a few years back. C64 was a groundbreaker.
