RetroGaming

Ha same! One day I'll remake that 8bit title in pico8... or watch the kids do it! It's a long ways from figuring stuff out from magazines, and complex technical manuals. It kind of got much harder during the 16bit era where the machine got harder to fully understand, like the Amiga compared to bbc micro or spectrum. 68k assembly was hard by yourself. But for sure, godot, gamemaker etc have made it accessible again, and programming is still a useful skill to have on your resume. It's fed me long after my uni certificates expired!
