The joy of typing binary from a magazine into a hex editor :) we did it as two people, one reading, one typing, but I believe we only ever completed one of the smaller listings.

DrunkenPirate@feddit.org 12 hours agoMy first typing was a game into C64 using machine code. Game magazines at that time dedicated a few pages with lines of hex numbers for games. After typing 4 pages you had a game.
Unfortunately, I‘ve got my data tape recorder two month later for xmas. And mom was nervous about keeping the power on for days. I entered those numbers quite some times. Load„*“,8,1

I’ll leave this here – it was maddening, but so satisfying and magical to have a running program after seemingly endless typing: archive.org/details/…/1up?view=theater
