This is truly impressive in this day and age. I used to write little games like this on the C64. I do wonder why he is using a tape drive, though. That is taking retrocomputing a step too far. We had a 1541 (IIRC) from day 1 when I first got the C64 back in 1983, four years before the author was born. Tape is too painful; and should be reserved for someone who wants to retrocompute on the VIC-20. I was trying to explain how delightfully 'tangible' the C64 was the other day - POKE something into memory and bang, stuff happens. It never ceased to amaze me how much improvement could be achieved over the baseline h/w and s/w setup too - order of magnitude faster disk access, 80 columns, etc. etc.
