Never thought about it that way, but that’s wild. I was pre-school and already learning BASIC with our VIC-20. One of the earliest we bought was a dual-sided cassette of Math Hurdler and Monster Maze, but my dad spent all night on Christmas Eve typing in Killer Comet from some magazine so we could see it do something when we woke up to it at Christmas. I’d say my favourite of the magazine games was Tank vs UFO, though I still remember the frustration when one of those programs wouldn’t run! How about you? Programmed stuff like Rocket Command or was VIC Avenger more your speed?
I started young with the Muppet Learning Keys and Discovery Disk. I loved the AD&D games: Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, and Champions of Krynn. We didn’t have an NES, so there was… The Great Giana Sisters. Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar was great.
