I was sad when this edition of MAD came out, because I owned a Spectravideo 318 (based on a Z80 chip) that didn't have a listing. That wasn't a surprise though - my parents must have got it super cheap thinking "it's just as good as that C64 he keeps asking for". It turns out it was "popular" in Japan, but no one I knew even owned one, let alone had any games to share!

However, I also noticed that in MAD for many months afterwards there was always at least one "letter from readers" suggesting typos and bugfixes to try and get it to work.

I remember thinking that maybe I dodged a bullet!
