As I a small kid, I remember my grandmother gave me her ZX Spectrum, and my father helped set it up with a tape recorder so we I could make copies of games, and one of his friends gave me a book of programs you could write, and my neighbour's teenage son introduced me to some of the 'good' games (I was too young to be a discerning gamer), and other kids my age would come round to play it. That's a lot of inter-generational fun from this little computer. Sometimes also we just used it as a prop in make-believe adventures.
