At some point I upgraded to 16kb of ram. This cost as much as the computer in the first place. All so I could play such mighty games as Mazogs!

They weren't very prevalent over here, but I hear they were pretty good, similar in specification to the Commodore 64?

I remember the Automata adverts as well, I seem to remember they offered a £10K prize if you completed the game (not sure about the figure, but it seemed huge at the time). In regards to the resetting, the speccy's where notorious for dodgy power connectors, can't remember how many times I had mine replaced!

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one. Although I'll probably find out it was on yesterday now and have to watch it on iPlayer in glorious stop-start-block-o-vision. Sounds interesting.
