I was a little bored yesterday in my lunchbreak, so I read old magazines on archive.org. Creative Computing, to be precise, a magazin for computer hobbyists, published from '74 to '85 by David Ahl. I found a short BASIC program in issue 1-77 called STRIKE 9 - a little dice game.
It was typed in fast and worked out of the box in vintage basic.
Proud as oscar I showed the result on twitter, and the original author, Bruce Grembowski stated:
Written in 1975, actually. Honeywell BASIC on an HDR timeshare system using a dial-up Teletype. My first program. It was a simpler time.
