mastodon 4.5.7

I remember a time before videogames. I remember hearing Space Invaders for the first time, a sound that I will take with me to my grave. I remember when Pac Man was this strange new thing that demanded to be played. I remember putting my 10p on the monitor glass to reserve my first go on Defender, and then squandering it in 15 glorious seconds. I remember lusting after the ranks of home computers in my local Boots the Chemist. I have grown old with videogames, and they have grown up with me.

How bonkers is this? A listings magazine, like those ones you used to get for the C64, BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum in the 1980s, but this one’s for little web page things. https://vole.wtf/doctype/
