6'1, Bald, Bearded, Idiot.
Bit of a retro tech nerd (Atari 8-Bits for the win!)
Keen listener of music (80s, Rock, Prog-Rock and all bits in between)
By the way, if it wasn't obvious before, I have a very base sense of humour

Little Professor was my JAM when I was but a nipper. Did look on eBay at one point to get one - but I have enough 70s/80s tech to last a lifetime.

I would have LOVED to have done it, but alas Freddy needed to count stuff rather than burn a goodly amount of rubber :'(

Unfortunately not, mine were far more mundane and school based than that. Snakes & Ladders, part of the team that created the original Freddy Teddy, etc.

Same as me. I even went on to work for Northampton Computer Education Centre (NCEC) to create educational software for schools on the 380z, 480z and Nimbus

I LOVE the RM range of machines, they were very powerful for their time and were better than a lot of the competition at the time. Still trying to get my hands on a 380z, but I do have the 480z

I wasn't a speccy lad back in the 80s, but I always considered the Spectrum to have the most distinctive look for its games and one that still stands up to this day.

Definitely gonna buy!

Mine was an Atari 800XL which my dad bought me for Christmas back in 1980-something. Was a bit of a weird decision as Commodore had a factory here in Corby so were WAY cheaper.
