Z80 CPU, 2.03 MHz. 4kb of ram. No drives, just a cassette player/recorder, which frequently would lose your programs.

Good times.

Yup. I remember typing in a sort of blackjack card game, but it was mostly text and used verrrry simple graphics for the cards. More than 1,000 lines of code, "hand crafted" as we say now.
