I'm probably pissing on someone's fond memories, but SFI is gimped out and only half-playable on a good day.

Interton VC-4000. 1982 IIRC. Loved it for about a year.Golf,Soccer and their version of Space Invaders being particular favourites. Then the Spectrum 48k came along and that was the end of that.
