First game*

* - This was the first game I bought with my own money. 1984 from the Egghead Software store in Glendale, CA. I was in 4th grade. It was for the Atari 800 XL, I had 64 kilobytes of RAM and a 5.25 floppy drive.

It came with a cloth map of the world. Around the border are names of the cities. There wasn't anywhere to look up walkthroughs, it was 1984 and I was 9. It took about 2 years to finish.

It actually took longer than that. My mom was convinced by her super churchy sister-in-law that this was satanic. She took it away from me, and a Scorpions cassette tape because omg so full of Lucifericiousness. I pulled the disks out of the trash and made copies, put the originals back in the trash. I wish I had these today.

The Box Art did not help my case. I felt it so odd considering we didn't go to church (never once). Note to parents: All this made me do was go to friends' houses (and then listen to Deicide). You can't control your kids as much as you think.
