The episode is all about BASIC programming. This week I talk about some of the BASIC programs I write as a young computer enthusiast in the 1980s along with some of my current Visual Basic and vbscript projects. During the show’s (30 minute, sorry) intro I answer questions about the state of my current collection of arcade machines and a voice message about Satan’s Hollow from the Prince of Darkness himself.
"YDKF 127: BASIC Programming" was originally released on March 11, 2013.

Get ready for some classic 8-bit action! In this video, I dive into the legendary River Raid on the Commodore 64, a timeless shoot em up originally published by Activision for the Atari 2600 in 1982 and released in 1984 for the Commodore 64. Take control of a jet fighter as I navigate treacherous riverbanks, dodge balloons, ships, choppers, and enemy jets, all while blasting bridges and refueling to keep flying.
If you played River Raid back in the day or are discovering it for the first time, let me know your best memories or high scores in the comments. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more retro gaming adventures!
