It was the early 1980’s and the Home Computer revolution had not long begun when I was gifted a Commodore VIC 20 along with two cartridges and an excellent easy to follow instruction manual.

The cartridges were two text adventures by Scott Adams (more on this in another post) but these took me on a wonderful journey.
Unboxing the VIC 20 on Christmas morning was a magical experience, and while I had little knowledge of what to do I continued to unwrap box after box and before long I had unveiled the VIC, a Datasette and two adventures plus enough cables to really confuse me. But working with the manuals I soon had the VIC hooked up to my colour TV.
