There were lots of those! Atari did one, so, I think, did nintendo, then there were ones like Colecovision (IIRC) etc.

Re: my first computer

my first computer was a ZX81 - bought in 1981 & upgraded with a wobbly ram pack. Then I had a Spectrum - that had all sorts hanging off it - 2 microdrives via 'Interface1' and 'Multiface' & 'Multiprint' units. My collection of 'Your Sinclair' & 'Crash' magazines had to go when the floor threatened to give way, but I still have the covermount cassettes, somewhere. I also used to spend hours 'poking' hex numbers into memory to make a crap 'manhattan' type game, or similar - I never did 'Master Machine Code on Your ZX Spectrum' - but I bet I've still got the book

My first pc was an Amstrad 2286, which came with a 10MB hard drive, 1MB memory, a 720KB floppy and Windows 2.0 - people who think Win98 is bad, should have tried that..
