After my father died last year I was able to use the inheritance to upgrade my gaming rig. By which I mean just switching the batteries in his portable Cambridge Z88 computer from 1988 worked and it just turned on. I’m gonna see if I can convince it that the 80s are over and then see what kind of games I can run on it!

Adorable!

I had a goofy cousin to this device the Timex Sinclair 1000. Had a ZX81 chip in it and a BASIC OS. Really cute little guy. I had a 1k ram expander unit that never got utilized but would have been cool if i had some storage media to load stuff onto or from.

Mostly i wrote basic programs.
