Extreme case of 'dress for the job you want'.
@th Is that guy literally holding forth.
@th FORTH: ORIGINS
@th Forth really could be the dark sister of Algol
@th it's clear that artist spent way more time on her chest than her face
@th I do all my programming with my underboob showing.
@th Controlling the matrix through your atari 2400 game cartridge.
@th Ah. Capella. Let us sing her praises. 😂 I assume COBOL is Algol's dark sister. (I was never fond of the Gross Verbose, personally.) But let's not forget the other sister, SNOBOL...
@th I remember that era fondly. I would not have believe you if you told me back in 1983 that one day game play would equal or exceed box art in realism.
The box art would have been a turn-off for me. Actual game looks more fun. :D
I played that. I even printed out the code (on an Epson FX-80 dot matrix) to take with me to the beach so I could try and untangle it (I think there was an annoying bug of some kind)... that was my first exposure to spaghetti code :D
(P.S. remember... Klarnons? :D)
@skepticsbookoflists @th "Klarnons" were the name used for Klingons in the BASIC Trek game I played, because copyright.
Amazing gameplay
@th There's the early Zork art, too. Just single gender human though
@th @Faintdreams I'm pretty sure I've seen that box art at Specsavers
@th Now I'm tempted to train an AI Art model on 80s video game box art and choose your own adventure book covers
@th absolutely
They had to be creative lol
I remember the covers from the Atari 2600 games
Amazing stuff
I’m assuming “Megawars” is by the author of the classic book “Learn FORTH on the Atari” https://archive.org/details/ataribooks-forth-on-the-atari-learning-by-using
