  • Things you hated about the speccyFor me it would be the Kempston interface coming loose and the machine crashing after a good session of waggling my joystick.

    And something obvious that I missed from the hate list:

    The SJS-1 joystick. I had a +2, so never had a Kempston interface, or any other type. In the end I used the keyboard for everything and dropped games with crap keyboard controls.
