I can remember the punch cards. I also remember the Sinclair
1000. Still have it (not sure if i want to admit that though). I can
remember programming a football ball game with it. What a pain in the
rear. I for one, like some of the new games, but I also grew up with
the good ol` 64. Anyone remember "Leather goddesses of Phobos". Just
checking.
First "console" game was pong.....and that was all it did.
Later all.
