Do you know how your videogames relate to the ENIAC?
Here's a family tree of all computer systems created until 1970, compiled by late Dr. Martin H. Weir Jr. (1922-2007)
Yellow branch on the left is PDP mainframes, that evolved into Unix, micro computers, arcades, and consoles...

Do you remember Dopewars/Drugwars, a trading game that was super popular on calculators? (buy low / sell high)
It was based on "Taipan!" from 1979 (TRS-80), later released on Apple II (1982) and documented in a book with source code to type in.
Give it a try on your favorite emulator!

100% agree... some time ago I've found this great book on the Spanish golden era on 8-bit computers, and luckily I can read Spanish, but I can't recommend it to English speakers 🙁

Share the last four games you've played and expose your gaming habits...
No game is too old or too new to be enjoyable!

I finally got myself 1941 Counter Attack, to complete my SuperGrafx exclusive games collection!
(Darius Alpha doesn't count as exclusive... I just pretend it doesn't exist 😅)

Got some new controllers for my living room #MiSTerFPGA - this joystick is a lot of fun with the Atari 2600 core

So glad I picked up a modded FDS drive, I had a disk of Castlevania that had been overwritten (with Ice Hockey, of all things) and was able to fix my disk using the translated game!
