RE: Amstrad Computer User (January 1990)

I never had an Amstrad, I was a spectrum user then a c64 user, the amstrad always intrigued me though and was supposedly a good system, especially when programmers took advantage of the system instead of doing cheap spectrum conversions, I’m going to have to try this system, only on emulation though, but I’m itching to see what it was like lol

I had a Commodore 64 for about six years before moving on to the PC. I really wanted an Amiga and the Amiga 4000 was still relatively new at the time. However, it was clear the writing was on the wall for Commodore and they were out of business a year or so later (though the Amiga limped on for a while afterwards). I loved my Commodore 64 and would have loved an Amiga but I never regretted moving on to a PC. Living in the U.S., the Amstrad was never even really a choice and I didn't know it existed until many years later.
I loved my Amiga, I initially had an a500 then upgraded to the a1200, I had the blizzard 030/50 had a hd fitted as well as cd rom, I didn’t get the pc until about 1998 lol. We were lucky to live through what I call the golden years, it feels like everything has gone stagnant now, they are just recycling old stuff and just making it faster, I mean the processors we used today were initially created in the 70s and 80s, even the latest apple silicon is based on 80’s technology lol
