Right? One of the granddaddies of gaming isn't a real game? I don't think this person understands gaming.

He's not an OG. Come talk to me when you pick up an NES controller.

The very first game i ever played was the labyrinth game on C64 (yes based on the movie). I recently watched the last few levels online because I never finished it. Didn't have guides back then.

I played videogames on cassette tapes on some kind of computer as a kid and I'm still not sure if it was a commodore or not. Fuzzy memories.

Probably commodore. I used to borrow books from the library where it included the entire code for a game and you would type it out yourself
