To me, the Commodore 64 will always be better than the Nintendo Entertainment System because there was no Commodore Seal of Quality.

Anyone could create a C64 game. And many of us did.

Even I—a non-programmer—made a C64 app. I wrote a simple ski jumping game from BASIC. It took me all day to make it, but I did, and it was incredibly rewarding.

What a great experience that was!

@Chris Trottier I feel profoundly lucky to have been born to experience that too. It really was a golden age.
