Favourite Retro Machines

I’ve used the word machines because in the UK at least retro gaming is as much about computers and electronic games as it is consoles.

So my favourites:

1970s Binatone Pong clone built into two controllers. One held batteries and the other the chip and RF modulator. (Close second was an LED pool/snooker electromechanical game I can’t remember the make)

1980s ZX Spectrum. Just excellent gameplay (see Head Over Heels, Batty, Glider Rider etc)

1990s DOS Games too May to list

2000s GameCube. At the time under-rated but now appreciated for some excellent games
