Amstrad 6128 Plus Computer
1 comment December 14th, 2007
Just got very nostalgic as I came across the Amstrad 6128 Plus computer, the system that started my journey into the world of computers and contributed immensely to my current career path of programming. I think I was about 12 when Santa Claus delivered one and it has to have been the most significant and most used present I ever got. Everyone else at that time had their Commodore 64s and eventually their Amigas but I got years out of that Amstrad. My programming skills developed over countless hours of typing, modifying and creating BASIC programs.
It had a weird 3″ floppy disk drive that meant games were hard to come by, particularly in Laois/Kilkenny, but some of the games it did have were great, check out the version of Batman The Movie via Youtube.
Must have a root around and see if it’s still at home somewhere!
