I got a Speccy 48k not too long after it had come out and I'd saved enough birthday money. Sat in awe playing a Frogger clone that I'd typed in from a magazine. Learnt all I ever needed to know about debugging code from doing that.
About a year later I got an infinite lives POKE published in 'Your Spectrum' - can't even remember the game now but my god was I chuffed. University graduation many years later pales into insignificance.
Best games ever had to be Jet Set Willy and Chuckie Egg - I haven't played anything as addictive since.
Only downside from this walk down memory lane - I'm now really annoyed I threw it out.

Happy Days....
God those were good times.
