I had one of these growing up. Remember playing a few games by entering opcodes like the article mentions. But then got a cheap-o ZX Spectrum clone. After that it was hard to go back to the calculated as Spectrum had an actual display, BASIC, a nice assembly language, storage on tape, even C, and Pascal compiler if you didn't mind reloading from tape on every mistake and segfault.

Exactly same story. We've been playing with my brother and classmates some "car racing" game on MK-61 before we've got custom ZX 81 attached to a TV (initially, "Yunost") and old cassette recorder AIWA TPR-830, where we could program the same on BASIC.
