The <b>Commodore Vic 20</b> was the first computer I ever used. I never owned one
until fairly recently. My next door neighbors had one, and I also initiated
a fund raising drive at my school to get money for a computer. We ended up with
a Vic 20. I dabbled in programming using <b>Gortek and the Microchips</b> and played tons
of <b>Jupiter Lander</b> on a 13" black and white TV.

A childhood friend had an <b>Apple //c</b> with a small green (monochrome) monitor. I couldn't afford
one so I only got to use it occasionally when at his house. It had a mouse which at the time ('85-86) was
still relatively novel. The games I played on it were <b>Choplifter</b>,
<b>Dr J and Larry Bird One on One</b>, <b>Captain Goodnight</b>, <b>Cavern Creatures</b>, and <b>Karateka</b>.
<p>
I also spent a lot of time at our local library where they had an Apple ][ which was outfitted with a coin
mechanism which you put quarters in, similar to what you'd see in a laundromat. I played a lot of Kabul Spy
there.
<p>
I now own a //c, Enhanced //e, ][+, and IIgs.

The Atari was the first computer I owned. I had first seen it because my cousin got
an 800 for Christmas with Star Raiders and Pac Man. I was hooked! I saved up my paper route money
and by the time I had enough the XEs were out. I bought an <b>130XE</b>. Most of the games I played
were typed in from magazines like <b>Antic</b>, <b>ANALOG</b>, <b>Compute!</b>, and <b>Family Computing</b>.
The games I owned for the Atari were <b>Master of the Lamps</b>, <b>Ultima III and IV</b>, <b>Realm of Impossibility</b>,
<b>Blue Max</b>, <b>Zork</b>, and <b>F-15 Strike Eagle</b>. I also played <b>Chicken</b> a lot which was in Antic
I believe and was a lot like Frogger. I also have discovered the excellent game <b>M.U.L.E.</b> which I remember
seeing in magazines but never bought.

My brother got a C64C for Christmas the same year I bought my Atari. He got the whole
setup and I was pretty envious. The sound from the SID was amazing. I also got
to hear how much better <b>Ultima III</b> sounded on a C64 at my friends house. Games I played on the C64 were
<b>Racing Destruction Set</b>, <b>Defender of the Crown</b>, <b>Impossible Mission</b>, <b>Space Taxi</b>,
and <b>Telengard</b> (which is best on the C64!!).

OK, so the Atari ST is a 16 bit computer. :)
<br>
<p>
I traded my Atari 8 bit for an Atari 520 ST soon after they came out. The 16 bit graphics made
my XL look ancient. The screenshots for <b>Time Bandit</b> and <b>Starglider</b> were enough for me to trade up.
I also owned <b>Plutos</b>, <b>Populous</b>, <b>Rogue</b>, <b>Oids</b>, <b>Defender of the Crown</b>, and <b>Dungeon Master</b>.

Not too long ago I build a set top box for my basement that I use for playing
classic video games from the couch. The setup includes custom software (frontend, other programs),
utilities like python, rsync, pskill, shutdown, Joy2Key and others, emulators, an Acer Mini PC with
a USB interfaces for a lot of classic controllers. With a controller and a small wireless keyboard,
I can drive from my couch. Completing the setup is a nice big (and HEAVY) CRT. I've also added a <a href="https://www.retrorgb.com/mister.html">MiSTer</a>
to the setup which is AMAZING!
<p>
I had at first been using my modded xbox to use emulators but I found that compatibility and performance
wasn't as good as PC based emulators. All basic operation of selecting games/systems, favorites, launching games,
quitting games, and playing them are controlled from just the gamepad.
<p>
From my couch I'm able to select and play games for many different systems including:
<ul>
<li> Atari 2600/5200/7800/800/ST</li>
<li> Commodore Vic-20/C64/Amiga</li>
<li> TI99/4a</li>
<li> Tandy Color Computer</li>
<li> Vectrex</li>
<li> Nintendo NES and SNES</li>
<li> Sega Genesis and Master System</li>
<li> ColecoVision and Coleco Adam</li>
<li> Apple ][ and IIGS</li>
<li> Odyssey 2</li>
<li> Arcade games via MAME</li>
<li> Intellivision</li>
</ul>
<p>
The frontend that is loaded when the machine was booted was written in Python using the Pygame library.
The program is available <a href="myprog.html#frontend">HERE</a>.
I update it very often and the latest is always available there.
<p>
Here are some pictures (click for larger version):

When using the old computers, sometimes I want a more authentic "experience" so I have setup
to read and write all the different formats of the computers I use.
<p>
I use what are called "flux" level devices to do this. Specifically the SuperCard Pro and the Greaseweazle.
I also have a little tower to hold the different floppy drives I need. From top to bottom, Panasonic JU-455 360k 5.25 drive,
Teac FD55GFR 1.2M 5.25 drive, Mitsumi D359-M3 1.44 3.5 drive.

One thing I remember well from my childhood was the anticipation of new computer magazines for the coming month.
Compute! was the one I bought the most of because it covered more than one computer. I now collect
those old magazines and have accumulated quite a collection. It's much bigger than it should be.
Even still they make for great reading if you used these computers back in their day. Emulators
give them even more interesting uses.
