Reliving some amazing ZX Spectrum memories! Stumbled upon Plunder (1983), that awesome pirate game where you sail an Elizabethan ship and raid Spanish trade routes. The strategic combat and missions to stop the Armada were so addictive. What a classic! #ZXSpectrum #Retrogaming

Here's an amazing fact about the 1986 Dan Dare game! 🎮 The ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions were a classic run-and-gun platformer, but the Commodore 64 version was completely different. Instead of a laser gun, Dan fought enemies using his fists in unique hand-to-hand combat.

The Didaktik Gama was a Czechoslovakian-produced ZX Spectrum clone from the late 80s. A key feature was that it included an original Ferranti ULA chip, which was a big deal for compatibility at the time. It also had 80 KB of RAM, more than the original Spectrum! #retrotech

My secondary school had Acorn Archimedes computers, which was such a common sight in British schools back in the day. These machines were a big part of our education—from using the unique RISC OS to playing games at breaktime. It's wild to think that the same ARM architecture

The Sinclair PC200 is a bizarre chapter in computing history. Released in 1988, it looks like a classic Sinclair, but it's actually a re-badged Amstrad PC. A true black sheep of the family! #retrocomputing #sinclair #amstrad
