8-Bit Show And Tell | RAM Scan 64 - Early 1980s Glitch Art Code? @8_Bit | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
We take a look at the short "Ram Scan 64" program from the first issue of Transactor I ever bought, way back in 1984. I don't think I've seen it in action since I was 11 or 12, but was reminded of it in a strange dream after reading "Be an Interplanetary Spy" books before bed. After typing it in and running it, I attempt to disassemble (and understand it) on camera which may not have been a great idea, but I mostly get it figured out. Glitchy fun!
