Loved my BBC Micro model B. 32Kb RAM was a luxury back then. It was attached to a huge black and white 1970’s TV as real computer monitors were very expensive back then.

Planetoid was my go-to game. Got me into BASIC programming and 6502 assembly.

The basic Tektronix graphics display was a lot! more
