Another time we were in GB i bought this Amstrad CPC464. alexander bought commodore 64. than i bought my atari ST and axel switched to amiga soandso. and we bought almost any chess program for those machines. i remember we bought colossus 4 for CPC 464 on a tape !! you had to wait minutes until it loaded the code !!! you can still get all those programs in the net, as emulations :-)) but the strengh is very low, and the usability is very very unconvinient. but ... we were young or childs in those years. and we had no problems with all those problems in the youth. i remember david levys company did many nice and very very intelligent machines. the best thing before the mark 5 came was this intelligent chess, with tape, video output and in wood. you were able to buy tapes with commented games , in voice, video and the computer program to analyse !!
