Hey, this is awesome. Such a throwback! I noticed that some of the characters aren't what I'd expect, any reason?

Oh, discovered from the other comments here that if I do a `MODE 0` then the character set changes to what I'd expect. Will look into that. So this one works for me now, cheers :D

10 IF RND(1) > 0.5 THEN PRINT CHR$(92) ;: ELSE PRINT CHR$(47) ;:

20 GOTO 10
