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.
Ooh, look at Mr Showoff with his games in colour!
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...
You get a sweet badge when it turns 20.
