It had a rubber keyboard which constantly used to break, but you could mend it by gluing bits of tinfoil to the circuit-thingy underneath!!
Ohh, and the little cassette player that used to sit by the side of it, squeaking away for 20 minutes to load 'The Hobbit' and then the load would fail at the last minute because the tape had warped.
Text adventures were my favorite, I used to write them too (in Basic). The worst bit about them was trying to get the syntax right - you knew that the rope HAD to be tied to the cart, but after trying 40 permutations of "TIE ROPE TO CART" you would give up in disgust. And then the keyboard would break....
Oh yes, those were the days ????? (not!)
