  I remember typing in a game from a magazine with a friend of mine. We spent all morning typing it in. Once finished we agreed we deserved a drink before hitting run....I stood up and pulled the power lead out as I walked away....urghhhhhh

  Talk about some spaghetti code. Unfortunately this is another game where the player is almost completely at the mercy of the TI random number generator. I think this game could be improved if the programmer had required the player to hold the button down and used sound with no visual indication to determine how far the bomb has dropped. The player would then release the button when the sound reached the pitch or volume at the correct moment to blow up the top of the sky scrapper.

  Faults aside, this is very nostalgic. Not the game, which agreed is not great, but the experience of having code brought home in a magazine.

  I remember entering hundreds of lines of code over days, giving it a try and it would crash. running the debugger and finding I missed a space or miss spelled a word. But I had days and days with nothing to do in the summer. We had the 512KB memory expansion box. It was the size of a PC gaming tower

  @@woodzy575 I would type with my 2 little fingers at the age of 4. Using the above loop to scroll messages for my mom on the screen. One day I typed up 1000’s of lines (which were probably incremented by 10 so really 100’s)… and after fixing the last typo, typed RUN. I saw an animation and heard sounds playing but there was a problem… Like any obsessive kid, I had been bouncing in need of a restroom break for hours. Delaying the pleasure of enjoying a new game just long enough for a bathroom break.. Then the trauma event occurred as time slowed down and I rounded the corner towards the living room and saw my mom flip the power off and all was lost. Guess I wasn’t too deterred as I’m nearing 30 years of software jobs, but would have loved a hard disk! (TWSS)

  You are recording videos using classic99 but it is not the real TI99 graphics because you are using filters present only on the emulator settings not on real TI99. I suggest disabling them to have a more real aspect of the images in the video.

  Seeing this certainly brings back some memories. Way back in 1981/82 I typed this into a ZX81 from a magazine all because a friend of a friend wanted to know what day his birthday would fall on in the 'far off' year of 2000! Didn't have a printer back then so I had to duplicate the display on a notepad with a biro!

  When I got my C64 I didn't know anything about programming yet I was obsessed with it. We had this very old B/W television with wooden legs and god knows what kind of AV connector at the back but the worst thing was that I had to wait weeks before finally a family friend made a cable so that I could connect my C64 . Anyway I immediately began to buy computer magazines and I just could not understand the magic, I entered a lot of numbers (as far as I remember, only numbers) and viola, a program began to run.

  Ah, I honestly do miss those old type in programs. Usually it wouldn't work at first so you'd have to comb over all your code looking for the mistake you made...OR the following month they would publish an addendum, "Whoops! We made a mistake in line 1235. Remove the second semi-colon!" or something similar. Although the machine code ones were faster, by a lot, I actually preferred the full BASIC ones because you could analyze and learn from the code.

  I typed this game in and I can’t get all the way across. Once you get to the lily pads if you don’t have all three lined up just right to jump across you die. I can get across two pads and then I die. The bunny doesn’t stay on the lily pad as it moves, once it moves you die unless you jump fast to another. As you can see whoever is playing this game never scores any points.
