What was the very first thing you loaded into your first home computer?
My Mum & Dad bought a 48K ZX Spectrum for me Christmas 1983. It was supposed to be a Christmas present but my Dad decided to have a play with it before it was wrapped up for Santa that year. His mate at work had lent him a bunch of tapes to try out. Except he didn't know what he was doing and so he called me in. To be fair I was a nipper and I'd not really used PCs much at that point either but I was techie bent back then and liked poking around with electronics and stuff so between us we got it all hooked up and loaded in PSSST from Ultimate Play The Game. It was fantastic. Arcade quality graphics lighting up the TVs phosphors. It was a revelation. What a machine.... literally life changing at that point for me.
Of course I had to act all surprised on the big day as I loaded Manic Miner up to show a room full of family what this electronic gizmo that plugged into the TV could do!
