30s? My steam account is about to turn 20! My first computer was a C64 and my first console was an Atari 2600... I remember the video game crash... hell, I still have my copy of ET!
There's a bunch of young whippersnappers in here. I'm around your age.
You little shits today know nothing about gaming.
This is a Star Wars game:
It even had audio from the movie.
I remember playing the original Lemmings and SimCity without a mouse.
C64 crew represent!
We had the disk drive and it put out so much heat that I'd leave my food on top of it to keep it warm.
Heck yeah!
I still remember ruining our first copy of Impossible Mission by accidentally overwriting it! God was I in deep shit...
Ooh, look at Mr Showoff with his games in colour!
You get a sweet badge when it turns 20.
