I had created a dictionary of words that kids should know and then created a hangman, scramble and other word games for them.

Then on to the Apple world and then to PCs

I still get games for it via emulators which works great :)

I had totally forgotten about CP/M until you mentioned it. I ran CP/M on the Commodore 128 with it’s 2.0 Mhz processor and 128 KB of memory.

That’s wild!

Anyone remember CP/M?

I almost forgot about the upgrade from a Commodore 64 to a Commodore 128 with a floppy drive. The beast had a whole 128Kb of memory! And let’s not forget the Commodore Amiga which was almost revolutionary for it’s time.

G.I.Joe to the rescue must have costed me to many hours

VIC 20, with no tape storage. Spend 2 hours copying basic code from a book, another hour troubleshooting, to play a game for 10 minutes. Good Times!

I’ve still got it. I keep thinking I’ll get it out and see if it still works but never make the time to do so.
