I know this sounds silly. But I have never used any 8 bit computer before.
I got the emulator up and running. When it booted (damn! that was fast), it
asked me to pick up a cartridge. I chose the first option. 8KB cartridge. I
was greeted with this screen. But I don't know how to navigate around and
do something useful. Any suggestions?
