I've been hooked since my dad bought us our Atari 2600

Hunt the Wumpus on my TI-994A when I was only 11. I played every generation of games online and offline thereafter. Its a natural progression.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I've been hooked since Zork on the Commodore Vic 20...

I do the same with my TI-994a and Tandy TRS-80 when ever I visit my parents. I may take them with me next time I visit, clean them up and put them up on eBay. Some of the classic computer clubs pay big bucks for those models when they're clean and working!
