Analysis of Electronics
Chief Speak-a-little-French 1980 (Calgary)
Gameboy versus home-made
Amplifiers
Computer games
Before the desktop
Took over the world
(laptops came later)
King Kong and Worms
Idly passing the time
Of Day
Of Night
Games, Games
Gameboy – a child’s
Victory over adults
Who never take the time
To play, play
