Back in late 1982 (i think it was), i was 16, I'd just convinced my folks to buy me a Commodore 64. It had a tape drive for storage, long before broard Internet access etc. I had magazines about programming in Assembler and programmed a couple games to play becase i didnt have access to, well, anything.
I still remember my bottom porky pig balloon shooter :)
SYS 64738 my dudes.
My next computer was an Amiga 1000, floppy and pirating in my local user group were a thing by then :)
I bought into the new company launch and my"modern" c64 is on the way. I have two original final ones here but no HDMI adapter, so it'll be a fun winter break getting back into hacking on it!
