I had a friend that had an Acorn Electron. He swore by that thing.

I was about 8 when I got it and learned some BASIC.
The bit of which I can still remember is:

10 PRINT Al is a cunt
20 GOTO 10

Yeah, it was a good game for the time but I don't think I liked it that much

I think I only had one game; preferred learning BASIC.

The BBC and the Acorn
were very similar I seem to recall. The games were much better than the early console platform games etc. The Amiga would knock the Nintendo and SNES into a cocked hat for type and number of games. I had over 400 games at one point.

I had to sell it when I started work as I was sitting up until 4 in the morning playing Railroad Tycoon or some other shit.

The Electron was a cut-price BBC
with some of the expensive graphics chips removed. We had one, and an Atari STe, the Atari was way better for games though.
