30 years later I still remember: POKE 23659,0
I got my start on the ZX Spectrum, as you say hacking games for infinite lives. First of all cracking the tape-based protection system (bleeplock, speedlock, softlock, movieload etc), then the games themselves. I guess I was lucky in that a lot of these protection systems were evolving as I was working on them. Jumping in to the more advanced system without having experience of naive protections that were available even six months beforehand would have been impossible for me.
- rdtsc 10y agoThe one I remember besides LOAD "" is RANDOMIZE USR 0 Also come to think of it, my ZX Spectrum (a Soviet clone of it really) was probably the reason I learned English. All the games and programs were in English, wanted to devour all that info so I learned a new language as a side-effect.
