This book is not for everyone. BUT if you remember computer games in the early 80's.this is a book for you. I started playing games on the TI and switched to the commadore 128(?) the graphics were stick figures when they first came out. I would copy code out of a magazine for games.

I was born in ‘83, so I don’t remember computers from then, but your comment made me think about how my sisters and friends would play office with the word processor we had when we were little. And we had an Atari, I think it was called. With donkey Kong etc. thanks for reminding me of some fun memories!! Enjoy the book!😊

Thanks, Marta, It is fun to remember waaay back
I was an 80s kid. I was into Leisure Suit Larry and still am. The graphics improved to say the least. I also liked Hoyle Card Games by Sierra.

I had finished college and was a little nerdy lol
