Not very well. I scored 4/10 but did get the BBC Micro and ZX80 right. Perhaps my computer knowledge ends in 1984!

Only 5/10 for me, I thought I'd do better as about 15 years ago a friend and I went through a stage of buying up old computers like the Dragon 32, Acorn Electron, etc, at car boot sales for ridiculous cheap prices and I had loads of them.
What's really gutting is that I ended up donating them to a charity shop when my Mum moved house in 2002, and about a year later found out that I could have earnt a couple of hundred quid selling them on ebay (in total, not each, obviously)."RIP Henchman No.24."

I've had a go on the emulators of Spectrum games.
I remember the Spectrum being a golden age of computer games, but you play them now and they are a bit boring - still have potential as mobile phone games though I guess.

I scored 6/10. Not bad to say I don't really know that much about makes and models of computers

I got 7/10. Bit annoying as I made a couple of schoolboy errors.

5/10 - one point for owning one of the consoles in question, the rest were complete guesses.

I got 6/10 but that was down to pure guess work on most.
I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?
