Now I don't have any memories like that... we did have a computer when I was very young, though. I believe we got our first one when I was four. By that age, I could read easily, and I learned typing because of the first games my dad bought for the computer - King's Quest 1 (I'm not sure it was even '1' yet), some kiddy Disney game, and The Black Cauldron (based on the Disney movie of the same name). I quickly learned how to type in the commands for the games, and my dad and I would spend hours playing the games together. (Even if I did cheat with hint books - I still HAVE some of the hintbooks.)

I have vivid memories of playing The Black Cauldron, which was an awesome game, and trying to get Hen Wen to safe haven before the Gwythaints could attack... sometimes I did, sometimes not. The game was much easier if I did.

I wish I could play that game again. Heh.
