And Nemesis!

VIC 20, quickly followed by Commodore 64. Hardware upgrade hell started early for me. Good times anyway.

Here's a photo gallery tribute to Jack Tramiel

Looking at the references to the VIC-20, does anyone else remember that William Shatner was their spokesperson for a while?

Never had an Action Replay cart? For us it was just F1.

Lots of memorable times from back then. The crazy part is that all of our 8-bit stuff is still functional, and people still use them in demoparties. RIP, Jack.

"Jack was born in Poland in 1928 and was sent to a Jewish ghetto in 1939 after the Nazi occupation. He was sent to the Auschwitz death camp in 1944 where he was examined and then transfered to a labor camp before being freed by the U.S. Army in April 1945.
In 1993, Jack was a co-founder of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Its collections contain more than 12,750 artifacts, 49 million pages of archival documents, 80,000 historical photographs, 200,000 registered survivors, 1,000 hours of archival footage, 84,000 library items, and 9,000 oral history testimonies."



I myself have met an Auschwitz survivor who also had an absolutely indomitable spirit. I guess what doesn't break you makes you stronger.

RIP Jack.
