That's hilarious. I wonder how many corners he cut on that. Is there a disassembly floating around somewhere?

It was written in assembly.
I don't know that any listings were kept. It never occurred to me to save any of mine. Oh well.
Likewise, I've lost all of my code from the 8 bit era, no big deal, really, but it would have been fun to read some of it.
One of the more interesting projects was to make an annotated listing of the 6809 version of MS Basic for the Dragon 32. We learned so much just by studying that code. It was only 16K and yet we spent months on that.
And for stuff we wrote ourselves, a real-time 3D renderer for simple 3D models in 6502 assembly was probably the pinnacle.
I was fortunate to have learned to code in an environment where a lot of excellent programmers were kind enough to help me out. For example, my roommate showed me how stacks worked. It was like magic!
