Me too. My first program was Hangman. Then my Apple IIe kept all of my D&D character info. Just print your D&D character on the thermal printer, grab the fritos, and head off to enjoy the eight-hours-locked-your-friend's-dank-basement fun!

I was a bit older; sophomore in high school. A bunch of us went up to Montana from Utah for the '79 eclipse and one brought his TRS-80. We read the manual on the way up, then stayed up all night programming the thing.

4K Level I BASIC.
