Description
First published in 1983, this user-friendly guide to the VIC 20 helped many owners of the much-loved home computer understand their machine to a whole new level. Considered now to have been well ahead of its time, the VIC 20 was the first computer ever to sell one million units and still has a dedicated fanbase.

As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote:
If you are frustrated by the limitations of BASIC and want to write faster, more powerful, space-saving programs or subroutines, Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner is the book for you.
Even with no previous experience of computer languages, you will be able to discover the ease and power of the Spectrum's own language. Each chapter includes specific examples of machine language applications which can be demonstrated and used on your Spectrum as well as a self-test questionnaire.
At the end of the book, all this is brought together in an entire machine language program - from design right through to the complete listing of an exciting, original arcade game.
