I've said this for years... There was no "gaming crash", people just started playing games on the C-64.
...and a high percentage of those were copied illegally. I'm not judging, just stating a fact
That’s were I started to get a big friends base in my neighborhood. Visit friends, play some games together, and copy floppy disks.
I loved those starter pics and animations of the hacker groups.
