Definitely the C=64.
Used to hate the way Spectrum games had big blocks of colour, the C=64 had sprites and stuff.

This one brings back memories...I had a spectrum 48k but was always jealous of anyone who had a commodore 64.
Ive even down loaded a version of "Elite" off the net..does anyone remember that game?

For me, it's gonna be Spectrum. It was my first computer. I conned my parents into thinking it was for my School homework but ended up playing some amazing (still to this date) games on it. Attic Atac, Sabre Wulf (in fact the whole Ultimate catalogue), Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy 1 & 2 and Skooldaze to name but a few. CBM64 was pretty cool when I upgraded to it and had stacks of decent gameplay on it too but the Speccy was still king. I still play some of those games on emulation/PC remake.

ahh i remember them but not with much fondness, its that long ago its like asking me to compare a boneshaker to a penny farthing .my god after what felt like 3 Weeks of typing in various syntax, when you asked the programme to run you got a Ball to bounce across the screen and if you were lucky enough not to get a syntax error! oh what fun then almost certainly it would crash. then it was lets play a game lets spend about an hour to try and get a game to down load by that silly tape recorder you got with a commadore 64 almost 2 in 3 you had to start again cos it crashed. nope no fond memories .
these youngsters today dunno how lucky they are to have a PC with a p4 processor, 200g of hard drive and 1000 meg of ram and Microsoft's software that does it all for them

It must be the Spectrum.
The BASIC programing environment was cleaner (and typos are impossible).
Sooooo many games.
Tetris was programmed originally on the speccy (it was the only computer small enough to smuggle into Russia). And...
Your Sinclair was (and still is) the best computer mag ever created.
