Fake it, till you make it.

I guess you could say I started out as a PC gamer. My TRS-80 was an iMac like desktop computer with an Z80, 8-bit processor. I would spend hours typing in the code from various magazines to create a lunar lander or some other simple animation or game. If you really wanted to play something fun, you needed a cassette or floppy disk. The cassettes would create a screeching sound that would remind you of an old 56k modem and you could find them usually at Radio Shack.
