That is the most awesome thing ever. I don't think there's a game there that I haven't played and sucked at... Oh the memories...
Plus, that's really quite a good song.

My biggest regret of my childhood is that I never gota c64 ASM programming book, nor even a reference guide to the various peek and poke values.

Peek...poke...reminds me of the Atari 800XL grandfather gave me to play with. It taught me Atari Basic. It taught me programming. I could make a mean "trace the line" program.

Heh. That was awesome. In those C64 days, I'd never even thought about programming anything :P

I never progressed farther than basic text input/response programs. I made programs that asked for a movie, and if it knew of that movie, displayed a quip pertaining to it. High-larious.
God, I wish I had the programmer's reference back then. I have one now because I ebayed for a c64 back in 2000. Dear christ, this thing's a tiny reference god. It has a full Basic, ASM, and circuitry (!) schematic! It's documentation for the entire box's entire capabilities and structure.
It is a thing of beauty.

The most I ever did was programs that would black the screen (to appear to be off), then in the middle of class would beep and flash cruelly accurate messages about the comp-sci teachers breath.

BASIC was my introduction to coding too, though I wasn't really capable of anything complex.
The screen of my Amstrad CPC 464 circa late 80's:
Ready.
YOU BETTER BE, BITCH
Syntax error.
FUCK OFF
Syntax error.
10 CLS. REM CLEAR THE SCREEN
11 A=0
20 REM THIS PROGRAMME RULES WITH AN RION FIST
30 PRINT "ALEX IS THE BESTEST PROGRAMMER EVAAR1"
40 A=A+1
50 IF A=10 GOTO 60 ELSE GOTO 30
60 PRINT "";
70 INPUT "DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT COMPLETELY TRUE STATEMENT? Y/N" A$;
80 IF A$="Y" PRINT "YES! LET US ALL REJOICE IN HIS WONDROUSNESS! YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A PERSON OF INTELLIGENCE AND TASTE."
90 IF A$="N" PRINT "WRONG. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A PERSON OF STUPIDITY. AND YOU HAVE THE FACE OF A GERBIL."
95 IF A$ (doesnotequal) "Y" OR "N" PRINT "U R FAT": GOTO 70
100 PRINT "GOODBYE": END
110 THERE ENDS THE BEST PROGRAMME THE WORLD HAS KNOWN
OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO KICK ARRRSE.
Syntax error.
SAVE "IAMAFUCKINGGENIUS"
Press PLAY and REC on cassette, then press any key.
Saving "IAMAFUCK.BAS"
File saved.
A-HAHA! FOR POSTERITY!
Syntax error.
RUN
Syntax error line 10.
I hope I wasn't the only person who used to type conversational things into basic. If you can call "fuck off" conversational... Ok then, maybe I was. But I'm not ashamed.
