I first saw Colossal Cave around 1981. A couple of years later, I purchased a Radio Shack 1, I believe, and got Sargon. (Took 30 minutes to load via cassette.) A year or so after that I saw the original Commodore version of Ultima. "How long before it's ported to the IBM?" I asked the sales rep. "Probably about 10 years," he said, showing extreme cupidity and ignorance.
First game review I wrote was for PC Magazine in 1978, if I recall correctly. One of the earlier Wizardry titles, I think.
