    When the first NES came out I was over there with my C64 and my shoebox full of disks with games I hadn’t tried yet like, lol suckers.

    I wish I had seen this, there might have been a moment when we could’ve shifted some parental money from Nintendo to Commodore with the right campaign, and kept the Amiga going…

        I learned programming on my 64 at 8 years old. I typed in the code from a programming book, ran it, saw what it did, and changed it around to alter the output to my liking.

        I’ve made a whole career out of that.

          I did the same thing, but before I could actually read. The program didn’t run lol

        I have lamented, many times, the fact that they took SO long to get Super Mario Brothers working on the 64. If they had done that the year after the NES came out, history would look very different, you ask me.
