Were you gaming in the 1980s?

Yep, Commodore 64 (actually stated on the 5Kb Vic 20 with Snackman) for the most part. Though borrowed the Sinclair ZX81 (I think that's what it was called) off a friend from time to time.

Most memorable games:
Arkon
Apache (Gunship)
Paradroid (FTW!!)
Sword of Fargol
Defender of the Crown (PS2 reboot was pretty good, but I didn't like the Robin Hood centric aspect to it)
The Impossible Mission (NOT the same as Mission Impossible)

I think we got an Amiga 500 at some point.

Good times

LOVED my Vic20 - good old commodore.

the zx81 was a joke machine...lol.  the spectrum got a bit better but i hated that squidgy keyboard.

Yeah those rubber keys were naff. Spectrum had a couple of cool games, but my faves were on commodore.

First EA game I ever played was on the C64. I thought they were such a cool gaming company back then.

We sure made our way through a lot of joysticks back then, probably had to buy a new one nearly every 6 months. The reliability of controllers these days compard to joysticks back then shows us there is an upside to the saying "they don't make 'em like they used to".
