    I'm talking about computers like the ZX Spectrum (best computer I ever used), Commodore, BBC B and any others you can think of. Not including the pc (even an old 8086!)

    What was the best game you ever played or played the most of if that's different.

    Best game: The Wild Bunch (Speccy)
    Most played: JetPac (closely followed by Jet Set Willy) on the Speccy.

    Anyone else have any good ones?

    Hmmm, I feel a new thread coming on... Thing is, we would need to define a 'retro' console.

    PS1/N64/Megadrive the newest allowed?

    Thoughts?

    The old ZX Spectrum 128k Sinclair. That brings back memories. I cant think of many game names though.

    Harr. Daily Thomson (something, something) was good back in the day and 1 similar to Double Dragon. TMHT was great too.
