Our first computer, the BBC B, was always tinged with disappointment because my brother and I both wanted a Spectrum instead, which had loads more games, many of which we could have borrowed/copied from friends. My Dad spent weeks looking at all the options (he did the same with everything - getting new stuff was never as exciting as it could have been in our house), and concluded that the BBC would be better as it also had more educational software and we might learn to progamme on it. To be fair, I think my brother did learn some BASIC and make a few programmes, but mostly it just meant we had fewer games to play. At least there was Elite and a good number of the Ultimate Play the Game titles.
I was too young to appreciate all that at the time. But yeah, it still had a decent trickle of games, enough to keep us busy at any rate. Chuckie Egg was indeed quality.davyK wrote:Quality of quantity is no bad thing. The Beeb got some superb arcade ports - the Acornsoft range were particularly good. Chuckie Egg on it was definitive. It was a real programmer's machine too - you could even embed assembler into BASIC source code. I did my A level programming project on BBC-B. Was an amazing machine.
