When did you stop playing 8bit games?

That's cool, man. I am actually glad that you would feel miffed at the legendary Speccy being compared to the lowly ST.

I have no problems with 8 bit Speccy and its games-catalogue. But 16-bit "Speccy" I have a problem with (the ST) because it didn't break rock-hard ground like the Speccy did (with the exception of MIDI Maze). But one game ain't enough. You need a ton of good games to create genre pedigree and a unique platform.

For gaming, I can't think of a worse Western micro than the ST -- not one that sold like the ST did, at any rate. ST was lowest of the low.

I just need to make sure if I am posting on the right site.

Here are a few "tribute" infographics that I made for the Speccy in 2024:
