Nope, uhuh.  Missed that one.

Hah!  I was 9, I got an Apple II+ at the time -
found an 80 column card somewhere, and unhooked
my speaker so I wouldn't wake my Dad up playing
Sammy Lightfoot and all kinds of other fun games.

Learned to program in basic, which did nothing
for my game performance.  Most of the games
I played were written in 6502 assembly already.

I do seem to vaguely remember something about
peek and poke points.

I've been playing the old standby, Dopewars
a little bit, lately - it's kinda boring when you
keep retiring hugely wealthy after 30 days..

I've also had a penchant lately for AstroCommander,
which is a relatively boring, somewhat enhanced
Space Invaders shoot 'em up.

I find the Palm EE Reference to be more interesting..

I'm looking for the freeware palm missle command clone..
Still haven't found it lately.
