Unreadable on mobile, unfortunately

Give it about 40 years, and he’ll fix it.

“Reader View” solves the horrible font choice...

Since even FireFox mobile did not offer reader mode to me, i used EinkBro to make it readable. Strange name but a nice alternative browser to have on Android. Got recommended here on HN.

I agree, font is squished, and for some reason performance is terrible, causes Opera (chrome) to freeze up on refocusing the tab

It has an autoplaying game, given the performance it's likely a full emulator for the computer in question.

Even on PC. End up copy to text editor

Text wrapping on? Unless you're talking about weird font and it's readability

I assume he means the font. I took a brief look and I'm not reading all that text in that font.

Yeah, it's the font that Atari games had at the time.

Yes the font is completely unreadable on mobile.

"(Thanks also to Rebecca G. Bettencourt, whose excellent TRS-80 font was perfect for this website.)"

The author disagrees with your sentiment

Or, and that seems more likely, they do not care about it, or even think that the page should not be at all readable on mobile devices.

It’s fine on iPhone and iPad, which are mobile.

It’s certainly not fine on iphone. The font renders but is very hard to read and the aspect ratio is awful.
