The Oric was a sadly neglected computer at least in the UK where Spectrum and Commodore 64 ruled, but it had a really great tape of demo software

- digi_owl 9y agoThere was also Acorn and their contract with BBC for the Micro. Never mind Amstrad. As it stands i get the impression the Oric-1 at least was pretty much a Spectrum clone. And likely not completely compatible.
- mmjaa 9y agoIt was definitely not a Spectrum clone, but rather an equal competitor - with a different processor, but similar price range, and (imho) a better onboard BASIC. But, its history now, but for a few of us who keep our machines alive.
- mmjaa 9y agoIts still getting great new software written for it, so its not as neglected as it once was: https://www.oric.org/software/
