Geek 👍👏I used to toggle in the bootstrap on an Altair 8800B and then load microsoft basic from a cassette... and then load another program called "hunt the wumpus". My dad built them in the 70's and ordered the basic cassette from Bill Gates directly. lol.

God you brought back memoriesI know I'm dating myself here, but sometimes I think about how far technology and games have come.
How many remember life before there was the "world wide web?" Or when we had to use 1200 baud modems, BBS, and Gopher!
And of course Pong, Atari, Intellivision, and The Amiga were cool game systems.
And I don't know what made me think of this, but I remember spending hours playing the Leisure Suit Larry games. Awesome!

Loading programs via cassette tape. And the whopping 1kb memory our first home PC desktop had (the standalone not the piece of garbage we plugged into the TV and barely ran some Basic on). Wowza.
