try writing it it in Assembly

Small error, game crashes and takes whole PC with it burning a hole in the ground.

Just don't make any errors. Not one.

It dis-assembled the computer!

It was really easy to crash an Apple II game and get into the assembler. And my goodness am I glad I didn't destroy my computer as a kid randomly typing things in to see what would happen.

Remember old Apple, had to use them when learning to program, there were 2 types, one with the OS on a diskette, one with a small hard drive, and they randomly showed a large bomb in the middle of the screen and you had to reload the OS. Probably the compuler that broke everything.

That’s Mac era stuff. I’m talking about the Apple II series, which had no GUI.
