ZX Spectrum. I used to love Frank Bruno’s boxing and the chess game.
I also had a SEGA mega drive, nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii
My kids all have Nintendo switches.

Speaking of prices for old tech, I was looking up the first Doctor Who VHS.

The Tom Baker story Revenge of the Cybermen was released in 1983. It is basically the length of a regular movie. It cost 39.99. In today's money... 130 POUNDS.
