Dude, that is still around today!! that is not even old enough to refer as 'the good old days', more like 'good old 2003/2004'...
Judy, we didn't get colour TV till the late 70s, even till early 80s there was only 1 channel and it blew chunks! the only thing I cared about back those days were Flintstones and Laurel & Hardy!
I got my first PC (if you can even call it that) in Spring of 1983, a Commodore 64K (don't wanna know what K stands for Gizmo, those who only know Megas and Gigas wouldn't dig it).
I was loading programs and games from cassettes....the main problem with loading programs this way was the misaligned head of the tape reader which required fine-tunning using a small screw driver to adjust it.
A few months of gaming and I started hacking into games at age 12 using a program called 'FreezeFrame', I think that was the name...less than a year later I made my first game (I believe the programming language was based on some form of Basic or Pascal). It was a 370-line side-scroller....lol.
