Although I actually went to the cinema to watch War Games (paid by myself for doing odd jobs) my Mother and Father-In-Law used to piss all their cash up the wall rather than buying me decent presents.

This meant that when all my friends were playing with their Spectrums and Commodore 64s I was playing on Acorn Electrons and Oric 1s (bought with more money doing odd jobs as well as buying/selling CB equipment)

However I have been 'around' home consoles and computers since they began, and have spent all of my life dedicating myself to them.

48k (I think) spectrum.

It was just a keyboard with a tape deck wired up to load the games,which took forever n sounded awful!

Though it was one of the gaming machines of it's day,well it was for me as I didn't bother trying any of that programming malarkey.....far to complicated for me lol

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I was already out and work in 1983 and couldn't afford such things.

By 1985/6 work gave me the portable Apple Macintosh to work on. It was like a portable television but with a floppy disc drive and a keyboard. I was the only person who knew how to use it. The rest of the organisation was still using the electric typewriters, carbon paper and Tippex.

Used to go to the bmx track in yeading watching the rich kid's on their expensive diamond back bike's. Trying to copy their stunts on my grifter which was rescued from a scrap heap and weighed a metric ton.

I was still playing with action man hand me downs, matchbox cars, he-man figures and wondering what to spend my 50p pocket money on. If I did my house chores lol.

Also how to complete "jet set willy" on my friends zx spectrum with a dodgy tape deck that would take half an hour of loading the game only to say "b load error, please try again" .

Then going to the local arcade to play "gauntlet" all afternoon because we got fed up of waiting for games to load. Lol

Ah 1983, i was 6 years old and played on my dads Philips Videopac + G7400, i remember playing gunfighter showdown, Spider-man, and a space invaders type of game on it. After that went onto an Atari 2600, then a speccy 48K, then i had an Atari ST 500 which was the rival to the commodore Amiga, lol.

OMG, I remember doing that too. We also had a Spectrum with the tape recorder where you could invent your own games and save them on tape. I bought a Sega MegaDrive in 1991 to play games on - still have it and my eldest bought some second-hand games on it recently to use it.

Besides 'Wargames', I also recall the TV show 'Whizz Kids' - similar thing to the above movie, but they solved crimes.

What a mixture of modern technology and the Cold War terror of WW3!

I had an Atari ST, then a computer with 4MB of RAM, then I bought my own computer as a teenager that was a bit more beefy... then I moved onto Mac's.

Now I'm writing a thesis on the critical reception of videogames as art. It's fascinating.
