"Jimbo"Ahhh, these were the days!
Which one to get???
#retrogaming #retro #retrocomputing #8bit #1980s #80s #commodore #commodore64 #zxspectrum #speccy #vintagecomputing
McGriffin@nickthefire Not as popular, but I would have to vote for hidden option #3: the TI-99/4a
Walt Campbell@nickthefire For whatever reason, I recall the Commodore 64 vividly ... but not the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
@waltcamp45 I had the C64 back in the 80s but friends had the Spectrum.
The "My Commodore 64 is better than your Spectrum" argument raged in the playground for a long time.
(it still rages on through the retrogaming community) 🤣

Rick 🇨🇦 🏳️⚧️ 🇺🇦 🔭@nickthefire I vote BOTH! But if you gotta pick just one... I'd take the Sinclair ZX. My reason? I've already owned several C64s, but I've never owned a Spectrum!
@deepskies I had a C64 back in 1983 but it’s only now I have both!
Martin Farrent@nickthefire Oh yes... and when graphic artists needed a Mac, while musicians loved Ataris... and a Commodore as a (comparatively) cheap terminal for a ridiculously expensive typesetting computer, which itself was due to be rendered redundant within just a couple of years.
