The first computers where I put my fingers on where Alice (you know the red shoe box, I did not have the optional tape recorder so I had to type the long game code manually before playing ), cpc464, MO5/6 /TO-7, STE, A500, Amstrad PC 8086... prehistoric age compared to today where a mobile and even a watch are more powerfull than any computer from pre-2000 era
