This is a link post Usborne’s 80s coding library
If you had a computer back in the 80s, you’ll probably remember these books. They were full of information, tutorials and programmes for the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Commodore64.
Usborne has made all the PDFs available on their site.
Lots of nostalgic fun to be had!

This is a normal post I enjoyed it at the time
But I can get millions of times more work done with a modern computer, so I'll do that instead.

This is a normal post and then find out that it was buggy and didn't work
Which it turned out was a deliberate ploy to get you to buy the next edition.

"These books were written for 1980s computers such as the ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro. The programs will not run on modern computers."

You mean these won't run on Windows 11?

0 out of 10 would not recommend.
