I remember, dimly, doing stuff in BBC BASIC on my older brother's BBC Micro. Loading in Mr. Do and Crazy Rider from tape. Man, good times.
A few years ago on holiday in a rented house in Cornwall I found an MSX in one of the bedrooms. According to the stack of magazines that was in the box next to it, it was a Japanese alternative to the Spectrum back in the day. I proceeded to spend two whole days typing in one of the crappiest games I ever played into it, and loving every minute of it.
I really should have nicked the thing and brought it home with me, they wouldn't have noticed!

I think I am too young to have expirenced the joy of programing your own computer games. I don't think I am too dissappointed though...

I started programming when I was 12; a buddy of mine started when he was 6. Trust me, it's not over your head if you really want to try.

My TI-83 had a SkiFree knockoff, bowling, poker, and a couple other games. I had to go into the programs just to fix the creator's spelling on the poker program...
Came in quite handy when our algebra teacher my freshman year realized that only a handful of us knew our multiplication tables. God, would I have been bored out of my skull but for those games.

(bride of edit) How many posts does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll Pop be able to change my stat line, anyway?
(son of edit) I fail at closing HTML tags. Mock me to your hearts' content.

Well, I can't find it. We are made to clear our calc's memory before exams, so I think what ever is on there is wiped, and has been for the past year.
