very little: 'dad i want to go to the coin-ops again!!' 'wow, look a computer there!!' 'dad i want one!' 'dad, will we go to the cousin with the computer?'
1987: I learn about a game called Larry, quite different to the platform arcades i knew so far
1988: some good guys give to me their old comp: amstrad 464. Games there, and programming (elementary), or copying programs from books
1989: Amiga 500. I return Amstrad to its initial owners.
1990-1: I learn that Larry belongs to a genre called 'adventure', with which i fall in love
1992: I buy an Atari Lynx. Everyone had GameBoy, I wasn't everyone. Too bad it was shortlived.
1993: 32 colours seem too few, and Amiga too slow for adventures (Indiana Jones 4 had 11 disks!). My first PC
after: well, upgrades now and then, new games, new pcs, new hardware etc
1999: i discover the internet. Look! There are some geeks interested in old games, and curious than all: old games music!!
