dear usagi,
I am not of the ‘gameboy’ generation, so, either ‘game’ mentioned, i have no knowledge of.
I am of the generation that learned to use the Univac 1050-II data processing system, complete with large reels of magnetic tape, punchcard creation and translation equipment, remote teletype machines with coded punch ribbons. WE are the generation, that begat the 8088 IC, the 555 IC timer circuit, that begat the ARPANET, that began the computer revolution.
There were NO computer graphics, no moving images, no sounds. I utilized such machinery, as we called it then, for the receipt, control, inventory, and issuance of military supplies, for everything from personal issue equipment, to tools, to crates of ‘c-rations’ (there were no MRE’s then either), to aircraft avionic, mechanical, and complete assemblies, such as aircraft engines, 24/7/365.
Dear Sir,
You’re a Noob. I was speed binning 4004 bit slice processors shortly after puberty. My first operating systems were UNICOS/COS, and PICK OS variant called ROS, then CPM. My first bus structure that had an actual name was Q-BUS, a variation of LSI-11 bus — implemented in ECL
And Vint Cerf still owes me $25 for lunch.
