He was wonderful. So smart and so kind. Missing him here, too.

One of my all-time favorites as well. I remember my mom reading me The Dark is Rising when I was very young and from there I devoured Over Sea, Under Stone and all the rest. It’s been years, I should revisit it sometime.

Mitchell & Webb! Hadn’t seen this before.

That roar-scream definitely turned heads in the arcade. Audio from that time stays with me — the pew pews of Defender, the Tocatta & Fugue of Gyruss, the way too loud Separate Ways song suddenly blasting from Journey, etc.

I remember the Commodore 64 and the TRS-80 but never got to play around with either. I had friends with Apples who were critical of the TRS-80 but I don’t remember what their complaints were. Might just have been brand loyalty.

This is very cool and I wish I could tell her.
As for actually going on the bike ride myself, I appreciate the offer but I was pretty crash-prone even back in my heyday.

Sinistar! “I hunger!” That sure takes me back.

I forgot Isaac did those TRS-80 ads! Yeah, I can only guess he wasn’t that partisan or it never came up in their conversations.

AirHeart’s entirely new to me. I was a Brøderbund fan, playing many games of Choplifter, Karateka and Lode Runner but this title escaped me. Looks fun and I dig the graphics. And it’s by the Choplifter creator? Appreciate you putting this on my radar.

Because of the Codename Sagan dispute? Yeah, it’s funny in retrospect. We were fond of Apple, so the way it turned was a surprise. I appreciate where Dad was coming from — advertisers so often wanted him to endorse their products and he’d refuse on principle, turning down many lucrative offers.

If I’m not mistaken, that was back in 1977. It had a four digit serial number, so it was one of the very early models.

I love this and I had absolutely no idea.

Hi there — ah, this takes me back. Dad introduced me to computers at an early age. I was 6 or 7. Somewhere in storage is my original computer — an Apple ][. Pre-disk drive, playing software from cassette. I remember being enthralled by games like Beneath Apple Manor and Breakout.
