Oh that takes me back! I remember peeking & poking for hours to various memory locations on my old 64 just to see what would happen.
Later I wrote a good bit of assembly for demo programs (which frankly sucked). I particularly loved the SID chip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_SID http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_SID).
Anybody remember Impossible Misson? I'm still fond of uttering "Destroy Him, My Robots". I don't think anybody gets the reference anymore though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginShVeGpGY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginShVeGpGY
- sageikosa 14y agoI remember peeking and poking a PET (or was it a CBM?) we had in the copier room at school until it would make a horrible whining sound requiring turning off the machine. Learned much later that some of the video registers could be poked with values that might damage the hardware :-)
