The earliest version of the original Football Manager was created for the ZX81 as a text-only game! 🙂

A brilliant piece of advertising by Sinclair, promoting the ZX81 as the best entry-level computer for a growing market of first-time users!

The QL is best remembered as a technologically robust machine that nevertheless did not appeal to the market it was expected to tap into.

Compared to other computers at the time, the ZX81 was a bargain! Fond memories of those days 🙂

The Amstrad CPC came with a monitor, making it look serious. Shame most people only used it to load tapes for 15 minutes and play Chuckie Egg.
