VisiCalc for the Apple II computer was the first spreadsheet program. It turned 8-bit microcomputers from toys into serious business tools, and it ruled the spreadsheet market from 1979 to 1983 when Lotus introduced 1-2-3.
But if there's VisiCalc, is there also OstroCalc?

I've been developing video games as a hobby since 1999 and professionally since 2015 as lead programmer at Retrotainment Games for 4 games and counting. I specialize in #NES and dabble in other 8- and 16-bit consoles. In addition to #homebrew games, I maintain ports of 240p Test Suite to NES, #GameBoy, and #GBA, the Action 53 menu software used by the #NESdev Compo, and #emulator test ROMs.
Personal games
Concentration Room, Thwaite, RHDE: Furniture Fight, Libbet and the Magic Floor
Professional games
Haunted: Halloween '85, Haunted: Halloween '86, Full Quiet, Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum
I prefer #FreeSoftware, having used #Ubuntu since 2008. I'd love to read thoughts on how proprietary software in #gamedev can become less of a necessary evil.
Expect puns and allusions to #Pinocchio and #Weebles.
