I tried this out back in the day and still remember how painful it was listening to the floppy churn for 5 or 10 seconds every time I fired the joystick at a screen element and thinking I could have typed a 2- or 3-letter command and already be looking at my results. Nice POC, but very impractical.

I used GEOS it was amazing given the 64's resources. It's a shame it didn't survive past the C-64. Windows and the Mac took it all.

I had this at the time, but wasn't sure if there were more applications for it?

Also, kind of impressed with the font design given the extremely limited constraints.
