The summer of 1982 I was trying to decide which video game system to buy– Atari or Intellivision.  Then I saw Captain Kirk himself on a TV ad for the Commodore Vic-20.  That was it.  I had to have one.  I bought a Vic-20, a joystick, and a Jupiter Lander game cartridge.  Total $330.00.  I used and enjoyed my Vic for years.  I still have it, stored in the garage.
