My first computer was a Commodore 64, and well do I remember the 1541 floppy drive, the really annoying copy-protection, and the endless piles of piracy software (also pirated). "Hmmm, even Doctor Hacker IV didn't copy it - I don't know where to go from here - wait, did we try Quick Hacker VII yet? Smasher II & III? Darn."

Nibbler ROCKED. I could copy anything with that. I got my C64 off a freind of my step father. Came with two floppies - I was in heaven. Learned peeks and pokes and BASIC off that thing. When I got mono, the little time I was awake, I discovered BBSs on my 300 baud modem. Very Happy

Best games were Imperium Galactum (got me into Stars!), Rollerball (I think that was the name - had to put the steel ball into the circle to score, but you could use it to knock the other players down, too), and (the two gun turrets on hills - can't remember the name. A tree leaf would stop the shell! It was awesome.)
