ZX Spectrum?

I remember that when I had to enter code printed in magazines/books it always seemed the Spectrum was the one that required that particular modification.

(Usually there would be a BASIC listing with modifications for C64, BBC, Spectrum, and other systems. "On line 30 add LET", etc.)

Yes! I had a Timex Sinclair. We had no cassette player, etc so, if you wanted to play a game, you were typing it in. There was one we’d always go back to. It prob wasn’t more than 50 line, tbh. But we typed it in so many times, we started to be able to do it from memory. I’m guessing it was a great way for a kid to internalize programming at a young age.
