Ah yes, when the parents kicked us off the NES, there was always the old Apple in my room. As a youngster I would load up The Wizard & The Princess. Later on I would code D&D engines for stat checks and other dice rolls. Then as a babysitter I coded my own version of Mr. Potato Head for the little kids to mess around with. In my early teens I would sneak into Dad's room and borrow his Leisure Suit Larry disks for the evening.

I used that old Apple until the day it died, sometime in the mid-90's. It was a 1979 model. Good times.

I remember looking through the source code of the cooler games I had on the Apple ][e, they were chock full of POKE and PEEK commands. It was a bit frustrating to a BASIC acolyte such as I was then.

That was basically the foundation of MGTOW, before it was co-opted by the rest of society.
