Oh, the Intellivision! I don’t think I’ve covered that yet, but I remember seeing it in Dixons, and I’m sure KITT had an Intellivision built in on Knight Rider.

Computers I had the ZX81 followed by the Acorn Electron. My first console was in the early 80’s, The Intellivision. Absolute crap but I loved it at the time. Got the Intellivoice unit and everything!!! Then I moved onto the Sega Master System, Mega Drive and then yes, you guessed PS1, 2 and now 3.

I played a demo of the new Call of Duty on the PS3 the other day and I remember thinking how when I was a kid. Nothing could ever top Space Spartans for graphics!

We’ve come a long way!

I had both, kind of. I got an Amstrad CPC, but I preferred my Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario.

I was a Commodore man too, going through the Vic-20, C64 and two Amigas before I grudgingly bought a PC…

That said nowadays I’m a console man, and rarely play games on PC.

Had the Amiga computer (why we did not get a commodore 64 I do not know) then got the first Nintendo console unit.

Spectrum game player all the way.

If anyone can point me at a snapshot of Brian Bloodaxe that doesn’t go kaka after you get the crown jewels I’d be grateful.
