Growing Up in the 1980s With the Commodore 64 - A Reflection

Here I was, as indicated by my exceptionally pregnant mother, playing a session of European Cup soccer in the solace of her womb. "He" or "She" will be a lively youngster, most likely a soccer player.

Two more weeks to go... Not a day too early in these taking off temperatures. Not the perfect conditions to bear an exceptionally dynamic unborn newborn child.

Much to her dismay that her, effectively at that point, exceptionally curious child chose that the present day would have been the day to find greener fields. No specialist or taking off temperatures would stop my deep longing to begin investigating my new environment. Curiosity, an attribute despite everything I have, needing to learn and see the opposite side of things.

Expert has little impact on me, continually needing to go to the base of things, demonstrating to myself that it is without a doubt right. This state of mind has acquired me after some time intriguing spots and defied me with odd and entrancing substances. It is sadly not the easy lifestyle but rather then no one at any point said that life is a stroll in the recreation center!

So... In 1983 life turned out to be right away extremely intriguing...

The Commodore 64 arrived...

Simply envision your adolescent room brimming with companions and this gleaming Commodore, similar to a lord, standing pleased in the center.

Around this machine, fights were battled, fellowships were reinforced, a lot of feelings were shared and energizing circumstances constantly laid ahead.

This home PC was an as critical piece of my life just like my family and companions. When I initially observed one, I knew this was it! Not knowing at that point however that the universe of swapping circles and recreations would turn out to be such huge business in my condition.

Your status was measured by what number of plates and the measure of prominent amusements you had. The child with the new and exceptionally wanted diversions was leader of our reality.

Many air pocket gum, A-group gaming cards and even BMX bicycles exchanged hands for these new, not all that new and even broke recreations. Nothing made a difference more than being Knight Rider, the A-group and even ET for a minute.

Occasions were tied in with gaming, unlimited hours of engaging it out around the Commodore 64.
