Welcome to the blog of the 8-Bit Tinker

Welcome to the start of the 8-Bit Tinker blog! I'll be putting up the occasional post about looking into a few of the old games for the BBC Micro that I used to enjoy with a kid. In particular, I'd like to dig into their inner workings - looking at the software code to see how they were put together (something I never really got far with with as a kid, being too interested in playing them...). It should be an interesting chance to brush up on BBC BASIC / 6502 assembly language, and perhaps get to the bottom of how to solve some of those seemingly unsolvable text adventure games over which I gnashed my teeth all those years ago...
