The Oric-1 Micro Computer

The Oric-1 Micro ComputerTangerine Computer Systems oric-1Released back in 1983 by Tangerine Computer Systems, the Oric-1 was a direct competitor to the ZX Spectrum. The Oric-1 came in 16 or 48k versions, sported proper 3-channel sound, featured a horrid keyboard and was based on the 6502A CPU, and despite (!) its colour-clash feature and similar price, failed to beat the Speccy. It did turn out to be pretty popular in France though, meaning a ton of quality and/or quirky games have been released for it. Find out more about the Oric-1 here, here and here.

To own a system for yourself you could try this boxed Oric-1 auction @ eBay, though you'd better have in mind that the computer is being sold as untested, meaning it just might be dead. Then again it might just be a huge chance at a bargain... Seller ships worldwide.

    It is the best way to cure the anger and stress. Sometimes, harsh words and angriness can break our relationship. And I think playing this clicking game can save your relation at the time of anger. According to my opinion, open and play the click speed test during your hard time. I guarantee that you will feel relax and find your solution to the problem as well.
