Post your age ..i dare you LoL

Pomona is where United Microware Industries was located at. They paid me royalties for making games for them. Just made a few, but got a lot of cash for them. They finally folded after two years.

Reminds me of Venture on Coleco. Venture was probably based on or influenced by this game.

Gunny, that is ultra dope, man. Kudos on that Amok title.

WF, I barely remember Venture. I remember the emotional upset of being unable to figure it out at 5 years old. Maddening. Our Hungarian emigré family friends across the street had a ColecoVision and Venture among other games. A terrible Smurf game where I always died in the first 30 seconds, with my ass impaled on a white picket fence.

QBert, I remember. This was all back in 1982 at the latest. So I was six or so.

We were an Atari 2600 family, later an Atari 8-bit computer family. That latter marvel had the ability to do light word processing, etc. Needless to say I wrote short stories and lengthy letters to the editor because this forum was not yet available.

My Dad had an amber screened IBM knockoff that had a really bad text version of Centipede, and my pop swore to my mom that with 16MBs of RAM he "would never ever need another computer"--with all that working memory.

My mom's working memory to this day reminds the family of his words even after he's been gone six years now.

We had an Apple knockoff, a Laser, made by the same folks that make cheap electronic toys and bad cordless phones these days, VTech. Played a lot of The Bard's Tale on that. Summer Olympics. Winter Games. Ultima II. I remember listening to a lot of INXS at that time. Fine Young Cannibals. Replacements. Taylor Dane.

But the first big step forward, when I knew we had real firepower, was when I had access to a 2nd series HP, the LaserJet II printer ... slow by today's standards it was a beautiful thing to print out my homework at the cutthroat nerd oasis high school I went to back then. I remember a particular Taiwanese-born classmate who was jealous.

He now works in Saudi Arabia for Haliburton after graduating as one of school's two valedictorians, proceeding to Harvard and Cambridge after that ...

Ahh, but we had that printer and he didn't ...

That was c. 1989, Mr. Rosenberg's Model United Nations/History class. 8th grade.

Which reminds me, while it wasn't blackface, I did dress up as Rico Suave that year and dirty danced my way through whatever dumbass signature song that dude had out back then ... so the 2020 governorship of Virginia is still in reach for me.

I'll be 43 in March.
