ABSTRACT

Wozniak’s first implementation of the BASIC computer language was called Game BASIC. “I made trade-offs in it just for games,” he said.

Ever the prankster, Woz related one amusing story to me. “Apple did ship a Brick Out tape at one time. I think it still had my ‘Easter Egg’ in it, where you could put the game into an auto-play mode and the paddles would jiggle as though you couldn’t control them, but they would never miss. I tricked some people, notably Captain Crunch, with this.”
