I really relate to what you wrote. I'm from China, and when I was in school, we hardly ever got to touch a computer, neither to learn coding nor to actually use it to do things. Our school had this huge computer lab with dozens of computers just sitting there. I know that sounds strange, maybe even a bit frustrating to hear. But now, with the economy developing and AI, the internet, and computers becoming way more common, young people in China born after 2000 can actually have the kind of experience you probably grew up with. I also really hope that AI agents can help make education more accessible and give more people a fair shot at knowledge, so they can build up some real experience and perspective for their own future.

Grand Prix Circuit looks awesome! It reminds me of my favorite childhood game, "Indianapolis 500: The Simulation", from 1989.

A couple things on Digger:

- You (or whoever was playing in that capture) seem to have a much more offensive strategy than I usually employ, maybe that's where I'm going wrong.
- Also, there is a modern port of Digger that is still actively maintained (github.com/sobomax/digger).

I liked all of the embedded videos.

My earliest memories were from my dad. They owned a Ford car dealership and it had a monochrome terminal mainframe. My dad created me a customer profile when I was maybe 5 years old, seeing my name and details on a computer was like magic. Maybe 15-20 years later, it was still there before the system was ultimate replaced.

The next major moment was my neighbour, he had a Commodore 64 and would let me play his (massive) assortment of games on it after school or on weekends. It was such a critical experience and certainly shaped my outlook and life moving forward.
