DonnieBoy: I loved Run magazine
I learned a lot about programming on my C64, and Run magazine helped with that, as did Compute! magazine. Anyone ever read that? Both would have machine code for some game that you could type in with their loader they had printed up. After a few hours of mind-numbing hex entries, you had a game you could play. Loved it.
For any of the programmers out there, ever see the Transactor magazine?
