After going back and forth for quite some time I had saved enough money to buy the Spectravideo-318. It had come out later than the C-64 and I had a few friends that with me had concluded initially that it might be a better buy than the C-64. I did not have enough money for the C-64 at the time so went ahead and bought the 318 which was half the price.  I am sure it was a good computer but the fact was that the games were not coming out at the rate that it was on the C-64. I had almost no friends to trade any software with which was the common thing to do in those days. So after 6 months or so I sold it off and got myself the C-64 and never looked back.
