I want to re-get an Atari XEGS, this time with floppy drive, so I can start making BASIC games again. Because I didn't stop caring about programming at a certain age, I stopped caring at a certain year (evidently).

@slenderscribus I'd recommend an Atari 800 or 800XL; the keyboard is much better. And if floppy drives are hard to find, there are ways to set up your PC as a virtual floppy.

@blots Main reason I say XEGS is I had one, good ol' nostalgia and all, but thanks for the input, always good to have backups (or even better choices). :)

@slenderscribus XEGS keyboard looks better than ZX Spectrum chiclet.

@jla Guh, "chiclet" keyboards. D:

@slenderscribus Hey, don't knock chiclet keyboards. The bad ones might be terrible, but the good ones are actually pretty excellent.

@slenderscribus They fixed it in later models.
