I used to program basic on my TI-99 back in the mid-80's - a basic keyboard that had to be plugged into a TV. I had a "code your own games" book that gave you the code - you had to type it out (I remember tons of GOTO statments) and then record it onto a special cassette deck. To load it, you'd switch the computer to "Load" mode, then press play on the cassette deck and listen to 10 minutes of data transfer noise.
