Gods (Bitmap Brothers game, Commodore Amiga, 1991)

During my college years I used to enjoy computer games on the Commodore Vic 20. This in itself was no mean feat, as it packed slightly less memory than your average goldfish. However, because I am so exceptionally old and the alternative was to watch one of only three television channels, I played the Vic 20 a lot. Then I grew up, got a job and in 1993 I was able to afford a Commodore Amiga 1200, whereby a whole new and exciting world of gaming opened up to me. Looking back now it seemed like I owned the 'mig' for ages, but since I sold it to fund a PlayStation purchase in what can have been no later than 1996, I must have only had one for about three years, yet those gaming times always remained burned into my memory as being an incredible voyage of discovery.
