A friend had a Nintendo. I played it once, was hooked, and asked the friendly local librarian how one made video games. Learned Basic from the book How To Make Video Games. Didn’t own a computer for another 5 years or so so this was also my gateway drug for algebra.https://twitter.com/Initialized/status/1197631627167502338 …

“How do you write Basic without a computer?” Graph paper for the screen and contents of memory. I had a lot of time on my hands.

Did you ever compile anything you had coded on graph paper?

No, lost it before I got a computer. My document retention pre Dropbox left a lot to be desired.
