My father had a Commodore PET computer which he wrote little BASIC programs on to quiz me in math and spelling. Watching him program it I got the bug myself.
Later, when we upgraded to the Vic20 and then C=64 (with a whopping 128k of ram) I began to program it in earnest. Any program disks and tapes for the PET or C=64 I could get my hands on I'd study the code for hours. I even wrote a few game myself, but quickly got annoyed with the limitations (speed) of BASIC.
But there were also a ton of great C=64 games too. Panther, Radar Rat Race, and others.
more later. Time to go to bed.
