What's funny to me is that I didn't know his mother was pirating all of these games until I was much older and realized none of them were on commercial floppies.

But I don't have any room to judge, not that I would, because my brother gave me a whole bunch of pirated Apple II games. I had an Apple IIe and my grandparents had the C64 (but it was basically mine because they didn't know how to use it).
