I’ve been playing video games for 40 years, with Space Invaders being the game that sent me down this path. I’ve owned several consoles (Atari 2600, various Xboxes, various Playstations) and went from a VIC 20 to a Commodore 64 to a Commodore 128 and then to an Amiga 2000 before I switched to PCs. Over all these decades and systems, no other system meant more to me than the Commodore 64. The games were amazing and engaging in ways games today just can’t match. As a matter-of-fact, I’ve pretty much given up on modern gaming and am seriously thinking about pulling my Commodore machines (yes, I still own them) out of the garage and setting them up.
As someone earlier said, it was a magical age and a great era to live through. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I believe that was truly the best time to be a kid.
I love this, my sentiments exactly!
