      First video game system I ever had. My mom found one at a rummage sale in 88 or 89, something like that. Gorf was my favorite game.

          I had a commodore 64 when I was growing up. Was on BBS at 6 or so before there was a world wide web.

          Any of you guys play Archon? It was like battle chess where you used mythical creatures. Fav commodore game.

                As a kid my neighbors a few houses up had one. They were older kids than me and my siblings. I got to play Frogger on it when I came over.

                  Le Mans was a good game, too.

                    Cannot tell if that's supposed to a scorpion or a squirrel but is that sprite walking underneath the ground something you get to later or you fall into there?

                        I think Frogger was one of my first console game experiences too, but on the Atari

                          Was Prince of Persia on Windows 3.1? Definitely one of my first games on the Windows computer!

                            It's a scorpion. There are places where you can descend ladders to the bottom of the screen.
