Commodore Screencasts

Imagesource: https://64bites.com/

The Commodore machines in the 80s distinguished themselves by having a version of BASIC on board.

Turn on. Start working. Update superfluous.

To achieve first successes with BASIC was and is not so difficult. But if you want to get more out of the machine, or if you want to push the CPU to the limit, you have to use Assembly.

Learning the latter, can be easy or difficult. A version of Turbo Macro Pro and a book on the subject would be the hard way I guess. So, why tax your own brain, when you can approach it with a completely different attack vector?

Sounds good? Then Michał Taszycki may have something for you. 

Michał is a self-confessed friend of beloved 8-bit technology, and has documented his knowledge in a whole armada of screencasts. His project is basically commercial in nature (and we are, as always, not sponsored), but Michał is making 9 videos of his Season 1 available for free.

Looking for some relaxing fodder for the brain? This might be it.
