As a child my first computer was a c64. The truth is that I think it was one of those coincidences in life because it came to me from some german cousins. If not, I think an Atmos is what would have ended up in my house since a friend of my father was an oric distributor in Reus and I remember seeing it in the shop window.
The Oric crossed paths again in my life when at my school, at the age of 14 and in 1984, the computer classes began and you can already guess which computer it was with.
The third coincidence was finding that my first girlfriend had an Oric1. In the end of this relationship, she gave it to me; D
As a curiosity I attach a photo of a guide on the different distributors that were in Catalonia of Oric. Without knowing it beforehand, in Reus, a city that had 50,000 inhabitants at the time, there were 3 official distributors.
I currently do text adventures with The Quill, originally for commodore 64 and then some friends traslate them to other systems. I do the conversion to Oric and then Chema Enguita helps me with the rest so that a version can come out as neat as possible. The pity is that in Oric there was no conversion of Illustrator, the graphic program that came with The Qull and with which graphics are generated in a simple but correct way.
And now to learn little by little about this system that seems very different to the c64 even though they share the same processor
