Ja the memories ! I was lucky enough that I grew up in a house filled with computers in the 80's and early 90's with enough diversity (386,486, early pentiums) to explore and have a brilliant geeky-upbringing. My dad was never really into games, but whenever we had to go on a milk-run to the local cafe, he would always give me money to go play "the fighting game" and was always "amused" at how "Dhalsim" or the "Toordoker"(afrikaans for shaman) could stretch his limbs that far !
Ag jussie, this is the most Afrikaans thing I've read in ages :P Grew up in Pretoria, also had some computers but thanks to the Telkom monopoly I wasn't really able to use the internet until going to UCT.
Good times - thanks dad :)
