Don't you really need to ask people who had both machines what they preferred? That would settle it pretty well, no axe to grind just an objective view on the pros and cons of each platform from the people who gave both machines a fair go.

Hold on, I had both and yes, it's all coming back to me now. The spectrum was shitter than a shit thing shitting it up on St Shittingest day with a shitty shitty shit shitter shit shit (c) R Curtis, the cunt

That's why Crash had a bigger ABC than Zzap, it was more fun reading about the spectrum than playing with the cunt.

I'm getting tired of having to explain things to you flat earthers.

I can't believe that anyone hasn't played the Spectrum Keyboard Card yet. By far the worst design feature of that machine..

Nope, the lads at Computer Club with the C64s were too into each other and bragging about their hardware. The Speccy lads got the girls (who also had Speccies, and thus were partly using the lads for their game-borrowing potential). Admittedly these were 13 year old girls, but that's ok because the lads were only 14.

See. There it is. Speccy girls are easy. 'nuff said.

Out of curiosity, what sort of music were the C64 lads into?

I hope you got paid in cash for that. Any cheque off a pikey spectrum chav is going to bounce like tigger.

No. We're not doing that. Fuck balance. This is personal.

/me duly notes gravy's case rested...

Interesting words... But there was also the slight issue of Crash being ace and Zzap being shit.

Ah. And from a girl, too. At last a bit of truth.

Iron Maiden, IIRC, not that tells you anything much other than it was 1985.

At our local computer shop the resident spectrum boy was someone aptly named Dirty John. He was a swarthy incohernt mess of a man who I copied Dark Star off of. Dirty John always mumbled, stank a lot more than a little bit and used to read Razzle on the bus while giggling at nearby old ladies.

This is all true, Snakey will back me up, I'm sure he remembers Dirty John as well.

What does this prove, are all Spectrum owners this way. No. Most of them? Yes.

The ones I know that have struggled hard to become functioning members of society at least have only done so by being ashamed of their youthful catalogue of disgrace. The rest are how I imagine Dirty John to be 22 years on.

Hahahahaha. 'Dirty John'. Now that doesn't sound at all made up, does it? Nice try, Mr... er... L. Forum.

And it's no good invoking your C64 chum Snakey. Would this be the same Snakey who betrayed your flabby, shuffling brethren of bummers by writing a fantastic... Spectrum emulator called Klive?

The Spectrum owners' secret fantasy finally revealed: being bummed by a C64.

I am sooooooo gonna fucking sabotage the Spectrum side of our Spekky v C64 special.

Mostly just because I can, and mainly because the Spectrum was just wrong.
