Coding 40 Years Ago

Here is a short six minute video I put together to show what it was like to code back in 1982. Using the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. If anybody has any similar memories then please share them in the comments. Remember to subscribe to the channel too please.

I wanted to add some links here that talk about the Sinclair machines that I owned, firstly the ZX81 and secondly the ZX Spectrum.
