    The reason kids have the games they have is because we were playing games in the 80s on Atari 800s that you had to type into basic from Compute magazine

      I wrote a choose your own adventure game in basic in the '80s. Had to save it on audio cassette and play the audio back to load it. You can’t do much with 2k memory but I still wrote like six endings.
