Speccy's creeping up on the C64 (possibly with a paperclip to "accidentally" misuse as a reset switch and blow the internal fuse instead) but the Amstrad vote doesn't seem to be moving!

Hey Spiff, there seems to be a problem with your keyboard - when typing C64 it came out as Spectrum and the same happened when you typed Spectrum - it came out as C64

Need to sort that out - maybe it was typed on a spectrum? You need to use a REAL keyboard..............just like the C64 one :lol:

Their were a few magazines for the Atari 8bit range, starting with Antic, Atari User and Page 6, later Page 6 merged with Atari User and became New Atari User and was published right through to 1998 (thats dedication for you)

And you could buy them in WH Smith up until then?

Hi Dudley,

I wouldn't no for sure as I subscribed to Atari User and Page 6 and had it delivered to my door till the very end. I think it was still selling in the shops till 1993.

Although I don't know any of these systems very well, I voted for the C64. For the simple reason that my brother had one and I used to watch him play Outrun and Ghostbusters when I was a little boy. He later gave it to me in the early nineties when he bought a new PC. I had a flight-sim called "Ace" that I played all of the time. Until that is I got a NES for my birthday, and the old girl was packed away, never to be seen again.

Was that Ace of Aces?

Probably not.

Ace was a 'proper' flight sim for the C64 (it was actually called A.C.E. which stood for Air Combat Emulator). I used to play it loads too, because I had seen F-18 Interceptor running on a friend's Amiga and it was the closest I could get to such an awesome game.

Ace of Aces was a great game too though.

These days I love the CPC more, having now got all 3 machines as an obsessed adult but ultimately I had to vote in honour of my Speccy +2.

Had to vote for the C64! The source of my earliest gaming memories....
