Post A blast from the Past!

#1  Ozymandias Jones 14 Sep 2005 11:21

I was sent this 1985 magazine ad by a friend a few days ago. I just love reading things like this from a few years ago, knowing what we do now.

Damn, but doesn't he look young...

The Commodre 64 had a 6502 processors right?  I worked with programming Apple ][, mostly in Pascal and 6502 assembly language.  I built trainer based on the 6800, but may favorite 8-bit processor for programming was the Z-80.  Darn, after all this time I can still remember some of the numbers for the 8080/Z-80 machine code!  How can I get it out of m head to make room for more useful information?

Ahh, the good old days...

Had access to an Apple IIe for a while (dads business one he never used and the school's computer club) then I got me an Atari 800XL. I've never owned a computer I loved more than that one. Used to write my own text based quest/adventure games in BASIC.

I spent hundreds of hours in front of the old 16 colour display instead of developing social skills with my friends  

My sister had a VIC20

I agree, Posy is much better.  

ZX-81?  I remember the Timex/Sinclair ZX-80.  I assume the ZX-81 was a second model in the same product line?
