Those damned joysticks that didn’t return to zero. 😡
When I was 7, my family had a TRS-80 CoCo. This photo is bringing back memories, it’s exactly what we had - a silver box with keyboard, and a joystick controller. I learned to program in BASIC, and we played (mostly) text-based games. It had a cartridge slot for ROMs, and we later got a 5.25" floppy disk. I would tap out lines of BASIC code from books or magazines, while my older brother was programming direct in Assembley code. A great family computer for the time.
10 print “hello”
20 goto 10
I love that “Hurry – this fantastic offer ends December 31, 1982” is a direct quote.
Yeah, that seems like something Mr Asimov would say.
Damn what a deal! Pretty cool wonder what that is in today’s dollars. I know in 1982 that price been way out of price for our family.
400 1982 dollars are 1382 2026 dollars.
Yeah about what paid for my gaming computer back in 2021.
$400 in 1985 is about $1250 today. $300 would be about $950
Didn’t forget to get a copy of Super Bustout.
