       Huh. I didn’t know Mobygames had used their data to assemble something like this. Very interesting indeed.#retrogaming

       @EdS nice capture. The positioning of the platforms is very interesting here. It makes sense that hobbyists - who wouldn’t be making platform games or arcade games - would be moving to personal computers from 1977-1980. The TRS-80 at the top spot really captures the significance of that particular computer. I’m just now finishing Lew Kornfeld’s (head of Radio Shack) contemporaneous account and was looking for a way to contextualize his unique place in computing. @vampiress
