My cousin had the C-64... My brother and I would play Beachhead and some Train Dispather game whenever we visited.
My brother had a VIC-20, passed down from me. I had the cassette deck and the 5 1/4 floppy and 300 baud modem on the 64.
My first was also a VIC-20. I remember copying the programming for my first game from a computer magazine and saving on the cassette deck. The game was called “Webster” and featured a spider (doing what I don’t recall).
Copying all that stuff was laborious as heck, and if you screwed up one little digit it didn’t run, and you had to study where you went wrong until your eyes bled! But when ya got it right, it was time to play all night. God, I was easily amused in those days.
