I enjoyed the discussion of how to accelerate computation of 'a×b' using just a single lookup table of 'x^2/4'. So far beyond what I could understand when the Commodore 64 was current technology [i.e., my teens], and so archaic and unnecessary in the present day.

Unreadable on iOS, unfortunately. Try these instead:

(I haven’t verified the accuracy of either.)

Huh. I used these magazines to implement a 3d renderer on the NES last year. Kinda funny to see them posted here. They really are excellent help.

BTW, here's a good site for this sort of thing: http://codebase64.org

I feel like that trivia isn't for everyone. Or at least would be the basis of a terrible pub quiz.

On the contrary, it would be a great pub quiz at places like Assembly and Breakout.

It would be perfect at a Commodore computer user group, though. (A small handful still exist, incredibly.)
