I too wanted
a Commodore 64 and ended up with one of these dog turds of computers. They have 64k of memory the salesman eagerly gushed to my Dad who had the same amount of computer savvy as Genghis Khan had of whale juggling in the outer Hebrides so that obviously meant they were the same computer. I remember some of the games fondly and it DID play C16 games which were... well crap (mission mars was a particular none highlight).
Being vaguely aware as a little pieman that my computer was really not all that awesome compared to its better brother or even a ZX Spectrum i committed the cardinal sin of persuading a couple of friends to purchase one to share games along with the misery.
