On today's episode of "Stupid races between old computery things" we have a Commodore PET vs an Atari 400 doing the maze program from Compute! December 1981. The program was written for these machines, so it's a fair "fight".

← I’m channeling my inner @8BitShowAndTell and fixing a bug in a listing in Compute! from Dec 1981. Atari version does not work as listed in the mag. My fix is on line 1020 here
Ported the maze program to assembly this morning (you know, learn something every day). It's slightly faster, as in the screen capture device isn't even picking up the ball flying around ;-) →
