1:26 As long as computers have been around, so have the need for titties.

Too bad this clip was't ready in time for 'Asteroid!'.
There's a black and white version.

There's something stylistically charming about adventures in new fields like this was.

I wonder how that computer could stay on for what I assume would be a few weeks.

@kargaroc386 We're talking about a 1980 era home computer.
The operating system was less than 1/8 megabyte.
I think my longest run was less than 100 hours.
The Super 8 camera needed a power supply.
Batteries might run down in a long shoot.
Dang! So long ago!
I merged TWO Floating Point Basics.
One used a co-processor card to speed up math operations, and one
was the Beagle Brothers Double Hi Res Basic.
In retrospect, that should have been impossible!

haha man this reminds me of 80's sci-fi films.

@BigBoy62783 YES!
My plan was to make a film loop that would play on the bridge of the starship Enterprise at one of the science stations.
I did somewhat in the film I helped make "Asteroid!".
Also.. is WAS the 1980s.

Yeah, I remember running some of those demos that would render 3d or fractal graphs. They'd take like ten minutes to complete an image.

@prodos8 Yeah... BYTE Magazine!
I rewrote it from Basic (sorry... foggy on the details... nearly 30 years ago!)
I *do* remember I couldn't caculate cosine from machine language so I used
a 'lookup table' created by the ]['s Floating Point Basic.
Did you read *all* the comments here?
Be sure to look at the flickr website. Same user name. It's public.
PS: Beagle Bros. Double High Res Basic! 384 x 512 pixels!
PS: CCSoft co-processor Basic.
PPS: I merged them!
