What?  You never coded in the dodge-the-blocks game?  I think there was a 
lunar lander too.  I also have a Timex 1000 (same thing with 2k RAM and a
Timex badge) which ran a FLIGHT SIMULATOR when the 16k Ram card was
working.  :)

The C=64 was kind of fun too.  :)

And after the Amiga I could never be satisfied with that microsoft dog

Cheers.
