If there is anything that really gives me the nostalgia vibes, it's basic listings. So many good memories typing over listings and changing them to enhance or cheat. It was very educational as a child. Mags like this [0] fill me with joy even though it makes no more sense. At least I got to live it fully (my nostalgia vibes go from 1980-1988 around; after that it was more study/work; I was 14 in 1988 and teaching the computer classes at my high school as the teachers didn't understand anything).

    I used to load up tapes for 15' on my spectrum and then poke around trying to understand what was under the hood.

    All I had was a thick book in a language I didn't speak yet.

    No internet, no friends to bounce it with. Infinite time.

    Good times.

I remember programs like this when I had a TRS-80 Model 1.

Even then they were underwhelming...
