I grew up in the 80's when computer and console gaming basically started off. It is amazing how things changed during the years. I believe the only way to present the actual experience is by the way of images, so I will not say much :)

Way back in 1979 and the 80's we had a savings account at school and every Tuesday morning, we took money to school to pay into the [PostBank]. The money was provided by my parents and I will be forever great full as in 1980 I bought my first Atari game console, which provided me with great pleasure for many years.

Let's take a trip down Memory lane

Atari game graphics

The graphics was just amazing. The younger generation might think that it is terrible graphics, but at the end of the day it was the best that was available.

My dad, was king of Atari Pac Man and could play for hours :)

And I am sure my sister @giantbear till today will hate Atari's Combat as I was always the champion.

My next console was a Nintendo and it was all about Mario Brothers.

This was the days of gaming back in the 80's and we enjoyed every second :) Anybody else here with the same experiences ? What did you play?

Happy Steeming!
