craigb Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I mean, really? Hard to run ANYTHING on 1 KB(!) of RAM, ya? 😁 I actually used one back in the day... Had to be 1982 or earlier! I was able to create music with it as well! (As long as it was a song that consisted of just the <ctrl>G beep... 🤣) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I started out on a 1K ZX81 - I got a good year and a half's joy out of it before I got a 48K ZX Spectrum (which also, BTW was my first 8 track MIDI sequencer using the Cheetah MIDI interface). If you want to see a feat of 1K engineering, take a look at ZX 1K Chess - almost a full chess implementation in 1K (you can't castle or promote to queen):https://users.ox.ac.uk/~uzdm0006/scans/1kchess/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I was quite find of my old TI 99 computer. I remember programming animated sequences line by line in machine language. I didn't have the BASIC expansion cartridge. They call those complicated animatuons animated GIFs now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Atari "I" had was their gaming system back in 1977, but you couldn't program that... That said, I still feel I could have produced something more enjoyable with those 384 nibbles than Kanye ever did! 😆 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
