Old stuff I still know
Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

The ability to code in x86 assembly, which might have been a useful skill 30 years ago.
ProgStart:
MOV AX, 0B800H
MOV DS, AX
MOV BX, 0
ProgLoop:
MOV WORD PTR DS:[BX], 0C6CH
ADD BX, 2
MOV WORD PTR DS:[BX], 0E6FH
ADD BX, 2
MOV WORD PTR DS:[BX], 0A6CH
ADD BX, 2
MOV WORD PTR DS:[BX], 0720H
ADD BX, 2
CMP BX, 4000
JL ProgLoop
ProgEnd:
MOV AX, 4C00H
INT 21H
END ProgStart
As it's a less than transparent language, I have provided a screen shot of what this does.
