My first computer was an electron. PArents were conned by the local electrical dealer into thinking it was the bees knees. It was just a total bugger to get any games for.

Never really got to play Frontier. My Amiga 500+ wasn't really up to the job of it.

I remember playing something to do with dragons teeth on the bbcs at school. And an awesome little game where you had to build a Mott and bailey castle by assigning workers to cut wood, dig the mound, build the walls etc.

I had an Amiga 1200 so spent a lot of time on frontier. Thinking back though it was pure grind. You could always download winuae and see if you could play it that way.

Granny's Garden? I "found" a copy of that and a BBC emulator recently and introduced it to my 6-year old daughter and was expecting her to laugh at me and go back to her DS. I was quite surprised how engrossed she got in it and how tolerant she was of the naff graphics and audio

Elite passed me by as we were in the Spectrum camp (mmm 48k and rubber key goodness) but I had a friend at school who thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. He was a bit of a BBC B fanboi though and so his opinion didn't count for anything

Similar to GG. Think it was called Dragon World after a quick google search.

wasn't allowed a computer at home...............and yet my stepfather was a computer programmer at the time..........mind you he did very sensative work and would sometimes bring one home to write stuff on if he had a long weekend.....I remember playing that tennis game on one back in 1982!!

Dragon 32, couldn't afford the 64K version, then moved up to the Atari 1024ST. But you could connect any cassette player and TV you liked to the unit, funny how using your TV as a monitor or integrating a PC with a TV is thought of as a new concept.

Spectrum here. Do you remember that game Xybots? It was the first full 3D FPS multilayer Split screen and we used to spend days playing it with my friends getting excited out of our heads running those labyrinths, discovering secrets and wasting Bosses .

Obviously a galaxy named "Briskoda" would be kinda cool, but I don't think we'd get the £3,000 together to manage that one :(

However, an NPC of "Briskoda-Octavia" has been approved :)
