I remember popping in a BASIC cartridge into my dads Atarii 800xl and then learning to code from the manual when I was 6. I remember using PLOT x,x and hundreds of lines to draw a Zebra lol.

My brother and I typed the code for a game from a magazine when we were kids. We pretty much deleted it right after we could finally run it without syntax error, because it sucked. Hours and hours of work gone in a second. Nonetheless, we both ended up working as programmers later in life.

I did the same out of a basic dos manual. Cant remember the game but I was so disappointed also.
