Over the course of my life I am proud to say I was a programmer. I was not a hardcore programmer and my coding was never as neat as it should have been, but I was in the game. And why was I in the game? Because I was lucky enough to have a Commodore Vic-20 when I was a kid. I spent hours typing BASIC to make simple programs from books and magazines. It gave me some patience and a deep appreciation for computers. This book, Mastering Your Vic-20 Through Eight Basic Projects, came with my Vic-20 and it was a great beginning resource for my humble brain.
Here is the front cover and back cover. Click on the image for a clear large image:
Hopefully it brings a smile to all you other early Vic-20 users out there.
There’s a typo at the end of your first paragraph… But I doubt anyone noticed. Don’t think there are too many Vic-20 fans here. I’m a Commodore fan, so I found it ;) I did all my BASIC programming on the Atari 400 and Coleco ADAM.
