Le chargement cassette du Dragon 32, c’est comme une mission secrète. On attend… On ne sait pas ce qui va se passer… Et parfois ça échoue.
Sympathique donation Dragon 32 à #silicium
Dont l'excellent Donkey King.
Quand ton jeu mettait 8 minutes à charger, tu avais le temps de réfléchir au sens de la vie…
…et parfois il y avait ?IO ERROR.

Front cover of first issue of 'Dragon user', the magazine for Dragon 32 - Wales built home computer.
Page describing lunar lander game, with the basic code the reader can type into the computer.
More code, with my alterations to enable it to run
Before vibe coding, github, or python ...
This was pretty much how I learned to programme, typing in code from a magazine and debugging the typos!
I still remember having to type this in each time to play the game, until we got a tape recorder to save it :-) #Dragon32
A real pearl among home computers - the Dragon 64 hailing from Wales 🐉

The #Dragon32. What started as toy co Mettoy became Dragon Data in the early 80s. They produced what is basically a cheap TRS80 using the same Motorola MC6809E processor and MSBasic. Decent kb and good HW support, but crap (mostly green) graphics led to less than stellar adoption.

Haven’t soldered anything “proper” in about 5 years, so decided to pull out one of the various kits I’ve had knocking about for years…

Great times when you could get 50 GAMES in ONE CASSETTE for less than £10! 🙂
