Aw man, the Zeds! Many of my friends had them -- my parents resisted computers. I suspect one factor keeping them from taking off here is that the games had to be loaded by cassettes, which took what felt like an eternity. In the U.S., the Apple adapted to games on floppies that would play immediately quite a bit before the UK/Ireland finally got the Commodore (or at least before anybody I knew did)
Awesome newsletter. Love the write up about retro computers. Bit before my time but I can respect it. Thanks for the shout out also!
