Gotta say, I'm really enjoying all of your uploads. Makes me realise how much stuff was created back in the day that I may not have seen before. From a preservation perspective, these records are very valuable.

Thanks :)


Yes I remember "back in the day" the availability of a large quantity of PD material that you could have for Peanuts from the WACCI and other PD libraries.

Pretty sure I typed the first one in at some point; got to admit, it made me all misty-eyed because for a fleeting second I caught the feeling of labouriously typing those types of listings in and admiring the flashing results on my 464, sitting at my bedroom desk... *sigh*

I also wonder how many of those who made those "math"-type programs proceeded to build 'proper' demos later on!

Yes I think that video is the medium to bring these programs "alive".


However I cannot emphasize enough that NONE of this would be possible without the resources available at CPCWiki/CPCPOWER/CPCRULEZ,  and then of course the individual work typing these in/saving as .dsk files by @AMSDOS , @Nich and all the other poor sods that slaved over a keyboard saving these little gems!


Not forgetting @Bryce who has repaired all the computers & hardware here that the programs Run on :)
