didn't anyone have a Vic-20 first... like me? I was a wizz at Basic. of course, you had to be, because there weren't any programs available for the machine...if you wanted it to do something, you had to write it.

...and lets not forget the awesome cassette (hard) drive!

Yup.

To be fair, the cartridge version of Omega Race for the VIC kicked booty -- especially if you used the Atari paddle controller with it.

I can remember playing the old Atari Indiana Jones game and saying to my brother..."Wow, imagine if they could make the people look like, well, people!"

And who, at the time, would have ever thought video games could be scary?

Yeah, playing games like Resident Evil or Condemned at 2 AM did me in.

Nice shot of Atari Indy, David. That may have been my favorite 2600 game.

I owned a Commodore 64 but remember reading about the Amiga; it was touted like today's Alienware or Falcon Northwest rigs. They actually chose the name in order to precede Apple and Atari alphabetically.
