i totally had a commodore 64 when i was a kid!
no, im not that old, i just found one in a garage sale, and my parents never bought me a genesis :(
but it was kind of fun trying to get everything to work - i was way more into the troubleshooting than the actual games, much more interesting

In loving memory of Jand, I'll chip in with, "All the best people had Spectrums" :D
I was a fellow ZX48K Geek and still have a soft spot for it (I first learnt to code in BASIC on the machine) and really like the Manic Miner port now on the 360. Still, the C64 was a worthy adversary and fair play to it, pissed all over the Spectrum from a sound point of view. The SID is a beautiful sound chip, rightly recognised as iconic.

Not to continue my Speccy hijack much further, but I couldn't resist chipping in the following.
If you liked Paradroid, check out Quazatron. It's amazingly deep for a 48K game.
