The original classic, the ZX Spectrum 48k (or even 16k for the masochists)? The bigger, beefier, hearing-aid beige machine that is the C64? Perhaps you were the unlucky one whose parents bought you a BBC B for its educational value? Whatever your preference, let us know and why!!
For me it's the Speccy, simply because it was the first machine I ever played on and subsequently owned. My mate had a C64 which I loved for its snazzy graphics and sound, but I was so accustomed to playing on the Speccy with all its colour clash and beeping sound that the C64 never felt the same. Plus I wasn't adept at using this funny contraption called a 'joystick' and instead preferred using QAOPM. I did always prefer BBC Basic to that absurd one-key method the Speccy used though.
