BBC Micro demo Bones

[@tomsie1000]

i remember sneaking this in to school and getting in a lot of trouble for watching this instead of learning french - happy days!

[@workonesabs]

same here, also changed the program to display different messages and also to change the skeleton's actions.

I loved this when I first came across it at college in 1984. I also recall a xmas animation, but cannot seem to find it.

[@leestacey970]

When I was at school I ran this on all 40 computers in the it department. 🤣

I remember Bones from my schooldays, sitting on the BBC Micro network. Do you happen to have another music program from the Beeb days called Cold Tea? It was around the same time that Bones was around

[@Squab1972]

So did I, always annoyed the teacher with it......lol :)

[@PeterEdin]

I had this on my BBC. Can't remember where I got it from way back then. I either typed in a huge listing (which I doubt) or someone gave it to me. Still have my BBC Model B though I'll have to move tons of stored crap to get to it. Thank goodness for BeebEm :-)

[@workonesabs]

I did type it in, remember it took ages, then more ages to correct the mistakes that prevented the program from running, making a mess of the skeleton or just crashing part way through.

[@PeterEdin]

@@workonesabs Have you heard of BeebEm?

[@workonesabs]

@@PeterEdin no. Looking now

[@PeterEdin]

@@workonesabs it's like having a BBC B inside your pc or laptop. Sounds, font, memory limitations, errors, 31 file limitation etc etc all emulated. Watford DFS, Wordwise + and other ROMS catered for.

[@NinaOPerez]
