Ask HN: What was being a software developer like about 30 years ago?
> I’m not old enough to know how much that affected full computers
I recently helped someone open source a roguelike they wrote in the 90s - https://github.com/superjamie/alphaman-src
The source is terse as you describe, some parts are written in assembly, and strings are actually one big string with functions that extract substrings. There isn't a clear PRINT statement in the whole program.
All of this because he wanted the source to fit on one floppy.

I realise this is the hard way, but my long-term intention is to reimplement Alphaman from the original source, so I figured start with the existing software interfaces.
- Alphaman - source code and unreleased files!
