What Is Nostalgia For You?

How do you define nostalgia? This is what it means to me. I am actually from the 4-bit generation as my first cartridge based system was the Odyssey2 / Videopac and that actually had an 4-bit CPU the Intel 4040!

4-bit?

Mark, there wasn't any 4-bit generation of consoles, all programmable consoles from back then were 8-bit. Likewise the Intel 8048 is an 8-bit microcontroller, not 4-bit.
