I remember as a kid my family had an Atari 400 that actually had a casette tape "drive" as well. STAR RAIDERS was the bomb!

It seems like as soon as I got the Vic20 the Commodore 64 came out making the Vic look really bad. The only games I remember playing on the Vic were word-story games, one was about Dracula or something. They were annoying because your wording had to be exactly what they wanted or it didnt work.

I'm still pissed that Mike Commodore never wore #64 (I mean Steve Heinze wore #57).
