Some of my best child memories are playing space invaders (beating my father at highscores; later rounds you have to very fast especially when you have the one crack-infused alien left) and castle adventure on a luggable [0]. I still have the luggable, it still works, and it still plays the games.

It was the reason I went to study AI (at possibly the worst time, in the 90s winter); I was very young when I first played it and obsessed with the large amounts of text it came up with under different circumstances. I found out how it all worked and programmed a bunch of adventures soon after, but the magic feeling that computers can make up human text stayed with me. Didn’t touch AI after until gpt2 came out.
