First use of a Commodore

I can't remember which came first. One cousin I had in the 80s had the 64 where Ghostbusters was my favorite game to play but I also remember playing Crazy taxi and Impossible Mission. To me that was just a game console. However I had another cousin that had the VIC 20 and I played Voodoo Castle on. I only got to play one time but I thought about that day so much as I was blowen away by that experience. It was the first time typing into a computer and having it type back to me. It would be many years before I got my first computer. a hand me down 8088. I loved it. I missed the glory days of commodore. As an adult my first retro computer was a VIC-20 and the game Voodoo Castle. I got hooked into The 8bit Guy videos and now I am on a BBS with my Commander X16. Another thing I just missed. I remember watching my friends Dad play around with BBSs. For me my retro computer hobby isn't about reliving the old days but finally getting to have and use these computers that I lusted for as a kid.
