Vintage Computer Games


Grandma, computing.

I was just revisiting a fantastic mix by Silencefiction posted by our sisters at A.R.A.W.A. last year and was reminded of this great, vintage song from The Presets of 1979, Australian Aria winners Mi-Sex. Their Numan-esque synthpop/pubrock ditty “Computer Games” went to #1 in Australia in 1981.
