    Oh, this is so juicy!

    I am playing Sword of the Samurai right now, and might have to track this down 100 years from now when I finally beat it.

    *I wondered what this thing was written in, because I loved how things were rendered bit by bit on the screen. So I looked it up, and it looks like it’s written in BASIC. I actually don’t believe I’ve ever run across it myself (I am sure there’s like hundreds on folks on here who already knew this and shrug). But I found this interesting blog on it with a detailed write up, some sample code, a virtual emulator, and some text-based games from the 70s. So I figured I would share the wealth, iffin’ anyone was interested =P!
