My first console controller only had one button, audio cassette storage was my first pirating medium, I remember when doctors used to smoke in the examination room.
Old enough to remember the fourth TV channel launching.
I was going to say this.
Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.
And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I’ll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
I’m as old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth.
Technically, you’re younger than your tongue.
Because your age is counted from birth but your tongue was formed before you were born.By that logic, you’re younger than your body and even your mind.
I still have my pog collection somewhere in the basement
My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.
Silver hawks was my favorite saturday morning cartoon.
I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad’s typewriter.
I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.

- SP: 2
- LP: 4
- SLP: 6
SLP was always the way to go because the quality was so shit even live it didn’t make much difference.
the only things i’m finding for these acronyms are crypto shitcoin listings, and i assume you are at least >5 years old
If you don’t know what I’m talking about (and it’s not shitcoins) I think that means I win. Lol.
I’ll give you a hint.
I wondered if the Turbo button on the computer really did anything.
Yes, it slowed down the processor frequency for games that would otherwise run too fast.
Bless Turbo Button-kun for making Gabriel Knight playable
Sometimes. It was also frequently not connected to anything.
I remember playing Duck Hunt as a kid when the combo NES package dropped and thought, no way video games get better than this.
I saw AC/DC’s second London gig in a pub
I was alive when the when there were more than 8 elevens.
around the Cretaceous period
