Wow, my story is near-identical to yours! Just shifted back in time by six years. ZX Spectrum+ from my father in 1988, self-learnt after that. Made a few games like you, but had no hard drive or disks. Storage mechanism for my programs were pen and paper. Learnt machine code programming in tenth grade. Later got a PC with Windows in 1997 and learnt C.
