For real tho! xD

My first computer was a Vic-20 (second hand). Even as a ten year old, I was able to type up basic programs too big for the RAM, at least without the expansion cartridge, heh. Long time ago, but I wanna say 4k and 16k respectively?

I made this one adventure game where I used up all the ram for mostly a handful of graphics screens. After a couple of turns through a text based forest you arrive at the gate of this magnificent castle and then the game ended once you open the door because I didn’t have enough ram to continue. “You solved it! Game over!” 😁
