You win again...
I can only go as retro as NES, and maybe Commodore 64 at a push.

Oh,
before that I (or more accurately, my Dad) had an Enterprise 128, basically an obscure sort of Sinclair Spectrum on steroids that never made it big. And before that, a Mattel Intellivision, that came with Astrosmash and Soccer.

My first thought was that the NES must be more retro than the Amiga, but it came out in the same year...

I bought a pong machine in a charity shop the other day.
A Binatone TV Master Mark IV. Only three fuckin' pound. WIN!

It has four, count 'em, FOUR games. Classic Pong, Squash, Single Player Squash and Football. AMAZING!

We've got one of those,
no telly to play it on, mind. £3 seems a bit steep. We got an Amiga A600 for a fiver.

I had one of those as a kid.
With the optional light gun. Which I lost pretending to be a storm trooper in the woods.

I've got an Amiga light gun,
which is exactly the same as the Sega Master System light gun, except beige.
They won't work on LCD screens. Such a tragic loss.

Wolfenstein 3D was awesome.
Did you have a dot matrix printer? I fuckin' love the sound they make when printing.

It was an Epson I believe.
