89

After my father died last year I was able to use the inheritance to upgrade my gaming rig. By which I mean just switching the batteries in his portable Cambridge Z88 computer from 1988 worked and it just turned on. I’m gonna see if I can convince it that the 80s are over and then see what kind of games I can run on it!

Yes, but only to test it was functional.

It was just so cool that it had this built in and I guess it could be used to write a bit of code that could run and do some processing in Z80 whilst other bits could be in BASIC which was easier to use.
