Thats a very very nice and realistic render DJbLAZER.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 but for some reason we had a dark grey'ish coloured tape deck. After a while it also started quietly making the computer tape sounds that were stupidly loud on the speccy - I think it was from over use of loading too many games over and over!
I think the first game we (me and my older bro) got was spitfire 40 with some very dated graphics now (first five pics here)

We eventually got an Oceania 5 1/4 inch floppy drive (similar to the 1541 drives but slimmer) and couldnt believe how much more convenient and faster they were - but instead of £9.99 per game they were £12.99 or £14.99 which was stupidly expensive!
My first disk game was echelon, a wireframe 3D world puzzle type of game which I spent far too long on.

International Karate was cool and so was the follow up IK+ where you had three fighters and you could change all manner of things in the background and stuff (background sky colour and style, background watercolour and ripples, drop characters trousers etc etc.

Ah the good old days.....thanks for bringing those memories back DJbLAZER user added image
