Me too. On a TI-99/4a.
My first "computer game" was "Jump-Hole Gunner" on a TI-59
programmable calculator. It even had audio: you could listen
to the program run on an AM radio tuned between stations. I
once had a flight crew member on a United 727 ask me to turn
off my calculator; I was making their VOR wander erratically.
But now I've dated myself, haven't I? This was my frosh
year in college.
