This brings back a lot of fond memories. The Acorn BBC B was my first computer. We even had the speech ROM which felt like sci-fi. Those hours we spent waiting for the games to load via cassette. The games we had first were Kingdom?? and Meteors, and some text game where you started off in a dark room. Later I got Elite for my birthday and we played it solidly for over a whole year, every time we were allowed to play on it. Typing in the programs from magazines. Great memories.
