I had the Atari VCS (which they then renamed the Atari 2600). I got really good at Missile Command. It was like the arcade, but only had one launcher point instead of 3. Yeah, PacMan sucked on the Atari.
Then I got a C64. And hours upon hours of typing the compute code from books or magazines in, then saving them to cassette tapes.
When 5 1/4" disks came along, finally much better games were available.
>LOAD "$",8
Summer Games, Winter Games, Summer Games 2, World Games, Pit Stop, PitStop 2, Racing Destruction Set, Bards Tale and many more. I also did my school computer assignments on it, then would goof off in class.
Edit: Oooh, Beachhead - good call!
