IIRC, "The way of the Exploding Fist" (usually referred to as "Fist") and it's sequel "Fist II" were written on a pair of C64s that were connected by a cable. They wrote the code on one machine, but ran it on the other so that crushes would not take down the editor/compiler. I don't know if that scheme was widely used elsewhere, but unlike larger systems, this was basically within reach for any programmer doing work that was going to go on sale.
