The Vic 20 was my first proper computer, with no sound, colour or keys I don't really count my ZX81. I had the matching tape drive and even a few game cartridges. By the time I sold it for a Diamond Back BMX I had amassed well over 50 games. Once the BMX love in ended I bought a 2nd hand Breadbin C64, I purchased new games weekly, loved it. I sold it to a local Naval Serviceman and after a visit to the Commodore Show in Hammersmith bought back a shiny A500. I eventually ended up with a 1084S Monitor, memory upgrade and Star Colour Printer. Like a lot on here I ended my Commodore Marriage by straying with a Japanese Megadrive, one quick play on a mates Ghouls and Ghosts and the love affair had started.
I've since bought a 60hz C64-DTV, a C64 Mini and I still regularly use Minimig on my DE10 Mister. I did have the Vic20 Mini pre-ordered with Amazon ready for Xmas but sacked it off for a Digital PS5.

Parents got a second hand C64 in 1984 and never looked back. Contributed a lot to the community and thankfully had that fed back over the last 20 years. Sister in law donated her family Vic20 to me in 2003 and so I started up on the smaller computer too collecting wise!

I've never played a Commodore 64 but was really into the Amiga A500. Games like Populous, Player Manager, Dungeon Master. All amazing. AMOS, Blitz Basic 2. D Paint, Protracker. Such a great games and creativity tool.
I never liked the A1200 much. Underpowered for the time. I thought it was a disappointing follow up. I think the original Amiga designers made the Atari Lynx - The A1200 should have been like that in computer form - with all the scaling, bitmaps and sprites that had but with a faster processor.
I listened to Kayne West on Joe Rogan podcast the other night and he was talking about his Amiga.

Like I said earlier if Nintendo and their resources got together with ACORN/ARM or a reborn COMMODORE they would be unstoppable in a rejuvinated home computing market...the new spectrum next is a good first step...
