I've still got a C64, Atari 2600 and Commodore Amiga in the loft.

Hmmm...
My old gaming system.

It was a stick, about 3 foot long.
I was either English or German.
Our virtual reality environment was the local park.

Those were the days.

Oh yes! Started gaming with a Sinclair Spectrum and then the Commodore Amiga. Spectrum started with I think 16k of memory which was upgraded to 48k and then 64k. Don't think I ever went to 128k though. The Amiga was half a meg which I later increased to a whole meg (but only long after the plug in memory card came right down from £99.99 for that half a meg!)Blink
Compared to today's multi gig platforms, what the early games developers did with so little memory was incredible!
Anyone remember Ant Attack on the Spectrum? One of my favourites!
