For those who haven't played with it, 8bitworkshop is a hoot. It's a real and shockingly sophisticated attempt at a modern web-based IDE for ancient platforms, with sample code for each and an integrated emulator.

It's also... I dunno, kinda cheating, it feels like. Some people had to read dot matrix fanfolds of files we grabbed off of BBSes or stacks of photocopied manuals from friends to learn this stuff. Now they have tooling that points out that the whole platforms have the complexity of... I dunno, beginner CSS tutorials or whatever.

There's something so heartwarming about 8 bit graphics showing a winter / holiday scene on a real CRT, at least for a certain age of readers. I wonder what youngsters think and feel about these.

It seems every 8 bit personal computer in the 1980s had a holiday demo. Here is Commodore's (which ends with a sales pitch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nfgdr4fOS8

Sorry but if you want to impress, get stable diffusion running on the 800.... kidding!
