Nintendo Famicom Family Basic

Nintendo Famicom Family BASIC In this episode, we take a short breather from the ton of vacuum tube work we’ve been on lately, and step into the “modern” era. That’s right, we’re coming all the way up to 8-bits! We take a quick look at the Family BASIC setup for the Nintendo Famicom. I really love this system as it feels like such a weird entry in the history of 8-bit computing. So come join us!
