I was a ZX Spectrum kid, which at the time was a great rivalry. But I have fond memories of the C64 and many other 80s home micros from visiting friends' houses, and I have to admit that C64 music still sounds good today, courtesy of its SID sound chip - not something that can really be said of the Spectrum's feeble monophonic beeper.
Happy birthday, C64!
- Tichy 14y agoI was a ZX Spectrum kid, too. A couple of years ago we cleaned out the attic, and mice had eaten the Spectrum's rubber keyboard. So much for the plan to display my first computer in the hallway of my yet to be founded billion dollar company...
- danmaz74 14y agoI incurred a very high risk to become a Spectrum kid too. But one day my father found an incredible offer for a parallel import C64... and I was saved ;) The Spectrum looked better though :D
