not quite wikipedia quality but...

...I wrote this in elementary school about 25 years ago. Hey, at least it's somewhat legible. :)


I still remember giving the processor its input through a "cassette recorder". My father and I would wake up early on Saturday mornings to load text-based adventure games onto our TRS-80. Some copies we bought. Some copies friends had shared with us. Some copies we typed in manually from magazines that published source code. Some programs took many minutes to load.
