The good 'ol days. Some of us have some great memories of those early days of computing.
I'm not quite at the wheel chair stage (yet) but I was quite active with my TRS-80 Model 1, upgraded to 32K via piggy backing an extra bank of 16k over the standard bank within the keyboard. I couldn't afford an expansion interface or disk drives and so did all my programming storing programs on tape. Nothing beats the sheer andrenalin rush of waiting for a tape program to load!! :)
I developed several machine language games with this system including:
Stellar Odyssey 1 and 2, Cosmic Bomber, Neutroid, Donut Dilemma, The Gladiator and Escape Zone.
One can read of my exploits here:
