So about computer history you can say: I was there!
I was 12 when first time I played chess game on ZX Spectrum.
They had some computer show in the city, and that was first time I saw one. Before that I was reading a lot about computers. (Had a small conversation with reporter who wrote most of the stuff I've read in those days)
I am sure that it would take me couple life-times to play every game I have. (not to finish every game, but just to play it)
