I think the C64 is "the most gay" system , because it looks gay , it
sounds gay and it feels gay.
But the ATARI also is quite gay...
When I funded my computer habits as a kid by working on a market stall
selling games, we would spot which customer went with which game. It
probably only works in the UK.
Commodore kids were always slightly overweight, usually dark haired.
They had round faces.
Spectrum kids were guite often ginger and freckled. Sega Master system
kids always were.
Atari ST owners were usually mid-teens and lanky.
Amiga owners looked like older C64 owners. Still round faced.
BBC games were /always/ bought by men in their 20s or 30s wearing
school-teacher looking outfits. Even the ones that didn't look like any
teachers at the local schools.
Electron games were bought by their kids.
I didn't fit the mould, but then, at that time I had a Jupiter ACE,
Enterprise 128, QL, MSX, TI99/4a, Mac, Lisa (MacXL, really), Acorn A3000
and a hell of a lot of other things ;)
