My older sister use to have one. The old cassettes that use to take an hour to load, so you'd stick it in, go out to play, then check on it later only to find out it had failed and you had to try loading it again. And the really big games and 2 cassettes. I remeber the army game where they'd jump out at you and you had to shoot "quick". Anyone else have fond memories?

H*ll yes! that was my first console and i remember the good old days when games were fun to play and had decent things to do rather than just looking good like now.
I remember an army one where you had to command a troop of soldiers around and one in this futuristic city and you could steal cars like in GTA but i have no idea what you were supposed to do in it.
There was also one in space where you were trying t collect parts for things and thats all i can remember but i've always wanted to find out what these games were actually about.
And anything with a spaceship in a sidescrolling shoot em up frenzy were perfect.

I had one.
You could buy books and programme your own games.
The programme books were really thick and took weeks to programme. If you got 1 single thing wrong (eg. put a / instead of a < ) in so much as a single line, the whole programme didnt work.
My dad did one, and it took him about a week and a half and it was really lame. A very basic and bad version of Frogger.
Those were the days.
Who needs Final Fantasy when we had Jet set willy :)

Oh yes my friend had one we used to play " Bruce Lee" and "The Hobbit" it seemed so cutting edge at the time.
The first computer I owned was an Atari ST and we thought the graphics where magnificent.
Makes you wonder where we'll be at in another 20 years.
