I got lectured a bit by dad when I showed him a cool &quot;violent&quot; video game in 1987 or so. I think it was a C64 game, maybe Commando. He told me it was neat but he&#x27;d much rather see my brother and me creating things and learning. We would later leverage that little fact into our its-an-education-system arguments when we asked for an upgrade to a Commodore Amiga.
