memories too" Monkey

I used to spend hours and hours of my free
time punching in the "enter it yourself"
programs that were printed in RUN magazine.
Their checksum program was a lifesaver. This
was before I knew how to type, too, so I did it
all by the peek n' poke method.

Let's see...there was the adventure game
where you were supposed to be a mailman
delivering mail to some guy way up in the
mountains...I never did finish that one. There
was the "catch the raindrops" game, similar to
the old Atari 2600 game "Kaboom!" There was
RUNPaint, which I spent hours drawing
pictures on using a joystick...gah. And there
was that marble game that didn't work. I
checked it and double-checked it against the
checksum numbers, but it refused to run. I
was so mad...it took me over a week to enter
that program in, and all for nothing!

remember what year they ran it."shny
