    I remember my brother’s ZX Spectrum with what we called a chewing gum keyboard.
    He had games! And decades later most of these games are still around, only the graphics improve.

    I didn’t experience the information superhighway until IIRC 2005, in the Uni’s library

    That’s late. I remember dialing into the connection I got via uni in the early nineties. Damn I really dated myself now. Well, it’s the normal amount.

      My sisters’ was the more modern 48K “Plus” version, with hard plastic keycaps and somewhat extended keyboard (separate arrow/delete/graphics shift/etc keys). Unfortunately I lost it somewhere in my storage room, and don’t think it would even turn on at this point 😕

      Yeah, there were some gems there. I’m particularly fond of Sir Fred, R-Type, Nodes of Yesod, and Atic Atac, and regularly fire up FUSE to play them 😁
