If only you'd written that 15 years ago :/

I've played Ballerburg on my dad's Atari ST when I was a kid and everybody else already was on DOS/early windows. I later on attended the DHBW (back then still the "BA Mannheim") and would have loved to know that he was the creator back then.

Thanks for making me smile, anyways!

This is how things go. As a kid I learned Pascal in school from a wonderful teacher and I loved it. Unfortunately I only had a C64, while most of my friends already had PCs. So I got hold of a Pascal version for the C64.

I only realized many years later and many years after graduation, that one of my university professors was the original author the C64 Pascal.
