 |  Re: Plus 4: Best looking 8 bit Commodore computer?
MC,
I screamed with shock when I bought the funky new look C64 because the SID was playing up. The classic Ocean Loader 4 did not sound right, samples from games like Robo Cop, Ghouls'n'Ghosts and Turbo OutRun etc.. were very quite. I took mine back and got another which was the same lmao!!
When I was shopping for C16/Plus4 games I was playing the C64 demo machines so grew up along side the C64 even though I didn't own one till 1989-ish. In the end I got a breadbox second hand and never looked back because SID ment everything to me. Little did I know Commodore replaced the SID's for a number of years later, but I always knew something wasn't right.. 
My vote goes to the C16, the grey was cool. It was the machine advertized on TV xmas 1984 and it cought my attention, but I ended up with a Plus/4 that year. hahah!!! 
Indeed the Plus/4 was the most perfect of keyboards, but I have a soft spot for the C16 too.
