Yes, and the Commodore 64 was one of my favorite gaming machines.

I couldn’t tell you how many Floppy’s I had! Loved my 64. Eventually upgraded to the 128.

I got the 128 too and thought they didn't make many programs that took advantage of the extra memory. It didn't sell big so most were made for the popular C64.

But childhood? I was a staff sergeant in the Cavalry when Commodore 64's were a thing. And you have a few years on me, if I'm not mistaken.

This is true. I was an adult with one child already. Some kids never grow up.

PS - didn't stop playing video/computer games till I was in my 50s.

I have a collector's edition Voltron set. Cost me about $400.00. I've never opened it. I love Voltrizzle! I had the original metal lion set as a child.

Oh man, when I was a kid, I probably built well over 200 models. At first, my mom discovered that the fumes of the glue kept me quiet and mellowed out LOL, but then I got really good at building them.

It's crazy how fun a simple game like, "Paperboy", truly is. I would still play it today if I had a Nintendo.
