I think this still has to be my favourite era in computing, a simpler time. I wrote a music program around the SID chip that was rather good. I recall learning machine code on the 6502 as I was able to do more with it. I was 13 at the time. Remember the magazine. Halcyon days.
I never got too much into machine code but I did write a lot of BASIC programs on my C64. And of course played a lot of games.
Same here. How about Impossible Mission? I loved that with its early speech synthesis effects. “Destroy him my robots!”
