I graduated high school in 1986 and was off to college that fall. My parents were generous enough to send me off with a new computer, an Apple Macintosh Plus. 

It was 1985, and I was too busy with sports to notice that the home console gaming world was about to revive with the debut of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I was 16. 

I was right in the middle of High School when my parents bought their first home computer, the Apple IIc in 1984. I was 17. 

I had a friend down the street from my house whose family got the ColecoVision in 1982. The neighborhood kids and I would, with exceeding excitement, go there to play it. I was 15.
