The first programs I wrote were written in TI-82 basic language. It's possible to create simple interactive text prompt UI and even Gameboy-like GUI programs. Since the TI-82 memory didn't survive battery replacement, I'd "save" programs by transcribing them on to paper. Since memory was limited, it became a fun challenge to find concise ways to write programs.
