RE: My 80s Computer Birthday Cake (And Nerdy Gifts)

in #fun4 years ago (edited)

Leisure Suit Larry was hilarious.. Actually, I didn't even have a computer that would support all those games. I had to go play at my friend's house because he had one of those fancy new IBM compatible 80286 God beast machines.

I was still stuck with my Atari 800xl for most of the 80s. My grandmother bought it for me for my birthday in 1984.. She only paid $100 for it because she worked at K-Mart and got an employee discount. Best gift ever! I remember spending all day writing programs on it in BASIC but didn't have a tape drive, so when I turned off the computer I'd lose it all.
