ZX81 with a whopping 1k of RAM.
Bitch was that none of my tape machines would ever lod in the 1k cassette games, so all I could do was learn the BASIC, then some machine code and triumphantly teach myself how to make a playable game in 1k, which worked out at just under a screen of code..
Things like 'Inverse X skiiing' - Steer the Inverse X between the rows of semi-colons.
If you reach the end of the course, you get error message 9, if you crash, get error 9.
That was hardcore coding.I later got a TI-99/4a, again with no games.
Now I had sound, color, pixel-defined graphics and 16k.
Just wasnt the same.
