I also invested in the optional extra gun required for the 2 shooting games.

I had to check how much these are now and I'm a bit disappointed. They're £20 - £40. 

It's better looking than any console

I had a zx81 first, then a 48k Spectrum (as pictured), followed by a 128k Spectrum then an Amiga 500 before moving onto consoles and PCs.

ZX81, spectrum, Dragon, Atari ST, more PCs and upgrades than I want to admit to. 

Still an avid gamer at 74 just different games these days.

I've grown up with computers, playing computer games is as natural to me as watching tv - more so tbh, as I'd much rather play a good computer game than zone out on the sofa in front of the tv.

As you say, the games you play mature as you get older but thats probably because I can no longer compete with kids 30 years younger than me now a days.  If I want to be good at something I have to pick a game that requires grey matter rather than godly reflexes!
