Oh, come on now, it wasn't that bad... Ok, maybe it was, but some of the later games had some awesome graphics, like pitfall and stuff. You could actually see both of his legs while he ran!

At least you didn't have to deal with cassette drives. My first system was a commodore VIC 20, and it was the biggest piece of crap, lol. We would spend 20 minutes loading up a game of clowns. I actually found a video on YouTube of the game (this was actually the best game I had on the VIC 20, if that tells you anything). I was so happy when I finally upgraded to a 2600, lol.
