Haha Fortran 77 had to program the computer with cards at Uni.

First program I wrote was to sort a list of names. I chose girlfiends. My mate who was helping me suggested it would be good to have two surnames the same. I laughed and said I've had two sisters - Polish - lovely they were too

Yep. Had one of them and a VIC-20 before that. Got the 20 when I was 8. It had been discontinued at that point (given it because my brother didn't use it) so there weren't any games available anymore. When I got bored of them I picked up the manual and started programming it. 19 years later I'm a Software Engineer programming computers for a living.

Atari ST and Commodore Amiga were better than the nes and master system for games, better graphics, but they were more expensive. I think it was the arrival of the Super Nes and the Sega Megadrive that was the final nail in the coffin for the home computers.

the home computers like the amiga were great yes...but only the most complex games were really any good, when they tried to make platform games like mario or sonic... (soccer boy, zool etc etc...they paled into comparison)..only one that was particularly good was james pond robococd!

and of course u are right, snes and megadrive were the nail for the 16bit systems... streetfighter2 on the amiga was one of the biggest jokes ever made lol...next to the snes versions...oh and there was rise of the robots(amiga)..whatta great fighting game that was lol
