All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1966. The first photo made me think about how kids these days don't know what it was like to grow up without a portable computer (phone) in your pocket. And people my age don't know what it was like to grow up without a TV. I guess the only option was to lie on the floor and stare at a fan... Ok, my guess is that it was just really hot an there was no air conditioner. August would have been the hottest part of the year.…

This ad is from the December 1983 of Compute! magazine. I had a Commodore 64 but it wasn't until a few years later.

This photo was processed in January 1969. There are lots of Christmas decorations around but based on the attire this looks like a New Year's Eve party to me.

Whereas computer games mostly stayed around the same price point throughout the 8-bit era, application software varied much more. For instance, this word processor, The Write Stuff, for the Apple II is being advertised at $99. This was not atypical for word processing software in the early to mid 1980s and some application software cost much more. However, by the time the late 1980s rolled around, there was stuff like GEOS being given away for free with a hardware purchase…

Centipede was another genre defining game by Atari. It was similar to Space Invaders in that you operated from the bottom the screen at things coming towards you.

Computer & Video Games was published in the U.K. and was one of the longest running gaming magazines anywhere. It was published from 1981 all the way until 2004. One unique aspect of this magazine was that, at least in its earlier days, it had type-in games for various computer. While here in the U.S. we certainly had computer magazines that had type-in programs, many of which where in fact games, we had no dedicated gaming magazines that I am aware of that provided type-in…

Frogger was originally developed by Konami and released in 1981 as an arcade game.
