  1. Playing Catacombs on my Commodore PET. Published by Super soft in 1981. Possibly one of the first British written text adventures.

    I moved around a bit and asked for my score.

    This seems prescient.

  6. So, the CBM 4040 is running again. Can you guess what it was? If ALL the chips except for the RIOT and CPU and the OneROM have been pulled, what could prevent the machine from booting??

  16. A classroom in 1981. University of Waterloo, Canada. 🖥️📚

    On every desk: a Commodore PET. Monochrome monitor. Built-in cassette drive. Chunky keyboard. No mouse. No internet. Just a blinking cursor and a room full of students learning BASIC.

    That "beige box" was the cutting edge.

    Now it's a museum piece. But in 1981? That was the future, sitting right in front of them.

  17. @mrdoornbos And there we go. Took a minute without any optimizations, using oscar64. It only supports floats, and that only barely. So 10.000 iterations is the maximum, plus convergence is poor. BASIC is faring better! I wonder how quick it'll be at -O3...?
