Wow, I thought I was a computer geek but some of the very early brands you mention left me clueless. Never heard of them! LOL But once you hit the Commodore 64, then we were back in business ;)
I remember my first real interaction with a computer was my Dad's old IBM computer with the big floppy disk, etc. I don't recall the model as I was at an age I could care less & just wanted to USE the darn things for games (Wolfenstein!) & chatting on AOL lol. My dad was real thrilled with me when he received over a $300 phone bill from my AOL chat room use. (That is when they charged hourly rates! 🤣🤣)
Also, the ATARI 2600 was my favorite gaming system - Asteroids, Yars Revenge, Space Invader, PacMan, Ms. PacMan & more :) I really miss that system haha
Thanks for a very interesting blog post. I enjoyed reading this & it brought back some good memories for me. :)
Been watching the new documentary on Netflix and they had a whole bit about where Ms Pacman came from - very cool :)
The UK was its own little bubble, I think in North America Apple II was a much, much bigger deal, but we all agree on the C64 :D
