I miss the competition in this area back in the day.
When we were working on relaunching Retro Gaming Magazine, one thing we looked into was adding a "type-in" section but it was quickly dropped due to lack of interest from the programming community in publishing their code like that.
Sad because I think it would have been quite a fun trip for older readers that remember RUN, Ahoy, Compute!, etc.

I think a type-in section would be pretty neat as a once in a while feature with an emphasis on doing your own modifications. There could even be competitions for the best mods. Honestly though, I would rather have the source downloadable or something. I don't know if I would have the patience to type in someone else's code these days :).

We played with the idea on the site, offered up a Flappy Bird for ZX Spectrum type-in that was offered by the programmer.
It got, still gets, a lot of views and interest from the community but in this situation it is not the fans that we had trouble working with.
