On topic - swap out the spectrum for a TRS-80 and we're basically on the same track.

I remember we had one of those when i was about 4! I think my uncle passed it down to us so it had already been around for a while. I never thought i'd see one of those again. I wouldn't have known how to google them either because i didn't know the name.
