    I remember going to RadioShack as a kid too and they had a Tandy computer setup. It was magical for 8 year old me. I think they even did repairs back then because that electrical soldering smell is seared in my memory.

        My family’s fist computer was a Tandy 1000 around 92. I was so stoked to make video games on the fly like Clarissa Explains It All did.

        Little did I know game development takes a little more elbow grease than cutting and pasting pictures of your friends into an existing game format.

        I learned a lot about getting around in DOS because the desktop OS it shipped with was garbage, at least.
