# The ZX-81
though technically crap, is in fact notable for being the first sub £100 computer, thus bringing computers to the masses.

(anyone with any sense saved up for a VIC-20 though :)

# PS2, Gamecube and Xbox
are all too similar to each other, and have loads of the same games. There's not much to make you choose one over the others.

# Ahem
The Guinness Book of Records officially lists the C64 as the biggest selling single model of computer in history, with over 22 million units sold world wide.

Plus it has better graphics and sound. Oh and better games too.

# Hey,
I had a speccy and it ruled. But I came from a poor family and we could only afford dirt to eat and I had to sell a leg to buy the speccy. There was no way that I could have owned one of your fancy "VIC-20"'s..

# VIC-20
was the ZX-81 competitor, C64 was the Spectrum competitor. Get your computer generations right, man!
