I was a bit before that, my group of friends liberally shared 5 1/4" floppies with C64 games on them. I also remember a demo being passed around where someone (not one of my friends) managed to encode about 10 scratchy seconds of “Why can’t this be love?” by Van Halen onto a 360K floppy disk and it was amazing at the time.

As far as C64 goes, when I was young there were radio broadcasts with C64 games. You’d record them on tape and then put that in the comodore…
