Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

I actually played a wee bit of 1983's Crystal Castles (Atari 2600 version) earlier this year when I was trying out emulators 🤣 I loved that game when I was a kid, I get a major nostalgia hit when I play it. I'm sure some of the other games I tested were older still, but that's the one I remember because I was born in that same year.

I remembered it being one of the first games I ever played. As I fumbled my way through those first few sessions, I could physically feel my neurons flowering and blooming and creaking to life like a bunch of microscopic mind-rhubarb. It was the beginning of a life-long love of gaming.
