We were also introduced to 8-bit home computers. A time of discovery amazed a time of awesome colour palettes mesmerizing soundtracks and tantalizing sound effects our 8-bit wonders.

This is a battle of two crowd favourites the C64 vs ZX Spectrum (for the 8-bit nerds only). What was your favourite one or the one that you hard earned cashed purchased?
-   C64 all the way
-   ZX Spectrum man
-   I was more of a businessman doing some fancy negotiating with the smaller folk in the school yard. You know your lunch money for your protection.
