Where do you get your dates? The Commodore 64 is an early-80's machine. It had the best available graphics for the time.

My first "game console" was a Fairchild with Pong and something like Duck Hunt on it. The resolution was something like 40 (huge) pixels across on the TV screen. My second was a Mattelivision; it taught me to play backgammon. It also had an Asteroids-like game and Space Invaders on it.

My first game and still a favorite is the original Adventure, a textual interface. I have it on my machine to this day. Few of the gamer "whiz kids" that bop through here can get anywhere with it. No imagination.
