Well not Commodore, but the most impressive type-in that I remember was actually a program for the 16K CoCo called ZONX from a Rainbow magazine. Great graphics and music, all in ML which was poked in via data statements, all 16k of them. Took a while to debug but it was worth it.

This was a professional programmer's graphics editor (sprite, char and char map) written in machine language. Several versions were published as type-ins in the British newstand magazine "Your Commodore". Marc Walters

From: Alan on 16 Feb 2006 10:28 Nothing beats Compute!s Speedscript for me. My fingers still hurt from typing that thing in, first for the VIC and later again for the C64. Totally worth it though, I used Speedscript for years. What a great program that was. I think the original poster was thinking more of type-in games, but I would wager that Speedscript was the most used, most popular type-in program ever published for just about any 8-bit computer.

I typed in RUNPaint. That was very good and is still a good paint program. -Maurice -- ** Maurice Randall - Click Here Software Co. ** High-Performance for your Commodore ** email: maurice(a)cmdrkey.com, support(a)cmdrkey.com ** web: http://cmdrkey.com |
