There were a lot of home computers during the 1980s.

I had Colecovision with the Adam attachment. There were two models, a stand alone one and one that was an add on. It was a decent home computer in its day.
The Colecovision had the cartridges and Adam had cassette tapes. Both had games and the Adam also had the word processing, a printer came with it, and you could save work on a cassette.
I'm not sure how many were made. I vaguely remember a commercial for it. I was a youngster in those days. -

Actually some 1980s computers are quite valuable, particularly the rare ones. I found two Coleco Adams on eBay which ship to my country (Australia), and one costs AU$130, while a mint condition one has a price of AU$507.53 (and no, I don't plan to buy either. I've been thinking of getting another 1980s computer, but I'd rather get a Dragon 32 or Oric-1).

I had two computers in the '80s but not at the same time.
First was an Atari 520ST and the second was a PC. I guess the PC was the favorite since it had more software and hardware compatibility. My cousins had both the Commodore 64 and Commodore VIC-20 which I thought were alright.
