Look at this king literally coding by writing on a wall. You never stood a chance

I love these kinds of autistic threads. One learns more about hardware and programming on /vr/ than /g/

you couldn't see many lines of code at a time on a word processor of the time, this is a good idea. i'm not a true oldfag but I know there are ways to transfer code through some analog source like a cassette or punch cards as well, so I wonder how LB got the code compiled in the end.

Applesoft BASIC (what he used) is pretty easy to actually use. Word processors obviously existed for the machine so there were ways to parse text.

Presuming this pic was taken in the early 80s. Once Origin got established they could have just printed the code out.

IIRC at the time floppies were pretty rare and people were generally using tape. Akalabeth did originally have a tape release, and then it was re released on floppy.

40x24 should be enough for anyone.

Didn't we already have a Lord British lust thread?

Games are a luxury product. What do you want? A law to be written that ensures all retarded minimum wage workers can buy as many video games at they want?
