Same here. I remember 'hacking' some racing game, removing all collision detection which allowed me to reach insane speeds :lol

I always loved the old gaming ads that featured an entire family watching one kid play.

Compute! was probably my most read mag in elementary. (I even got a couple mailed-in questions answered in a couple of issues...I don't have those anymore, sadly.) I did get my(mostly UK) Atari and Commodore mags from the local computer/bookstore, too. Nothing beat typing in free game proggies from magazines so you could disect and figure out the way the subroutines all worked. It was also fun to use hexadecimal editors built into game copy programs, like Copy][+ and such, to reconfigure and 'borrow' code for your own purposes. Of course, the best way to get free games was to go to computer club meetings...*cough* BBS, and later, IRC/newsgroups/P2P sadly replaced these real methods of growing a personal software library.

Can someone link the image where the mustached father is laughing at the screen and someone photoshopped a porno game?

Thanks

The Dad in the Vectrex ad could do with some moisteriser around the eyes.
