My old man used to build simple games systems the first one was simply Pong then later there was Tank Battle and a silly motorcycle bus jump game

We always had tech in the house our first "computer" was the Atari 800 the we had the XL and XE we never had an ST for whatever reason. The old man hacked all these including adding the "happy" chip to the 5 inch floppy drive to by pass copy protection

I remember a visit to his work as a kid and having a go on a mainframe console which didnt have a screen everything you did was printed on a dot matrix printer. I played some sort of game but it was so long ago thats as well as my memory serves me lol
