Creator the Commodore 64 Passes Away Everyone remembers Steve Jobs, but before there was Steve Jobs, this dude was a guy who, if you're "old as ****" enough, created the first PC that many of us played games on. RIP

Amazing he survived a concentration camp to bring us the PC. Imagine if he didnt make it though there, where we might be today instead.

He was a pioneer and dared to do things most average men wouldn't have the courage to do. He even left his own company because it was no longer in his vision.. and he even so much as dared call Japanese game developers (in that time), not innovative. The guy had balls!

Gaming as a hobby started when my father came home from working in Aberdeen, and had brought with him the glorious Commodore 64. This was sometime back in the eighties. It gave me hundreds of hours of fun, saved me from football and boring rainy days. Rest in peace!
