Like many classic gamers, I wasn’t just into playing the games; I was into how they worked, how they “thought” and made their decisions. I originally lusted after my first computer (a gleaming, 64K, Apple II-compatible, one-ton – or so it seemed when I was merely eleven years old – Franklin ACE 1000) primarily so I could learn how to program my own games.
