Typed in a listing from an old magazine this weekend
After the first language thread got me thinking, I dug out a box of magazines and typed in a 3 page BASIC game on the C64. Had forgotten that half of each page was DATA statements. Had also forgotten that they printed a checksum program you typed in first so you could find your typos.
Took four hours. It's bad. I'm very pleased with it.

A friend and I used to split it, one reading aloud and one typing. Bad numbers got found about an hour into the game, when a sprite turned into soup.
and now we npm install 900 listings nobody has read
