I had an Atari XE when I was 9. I used to write all sorts of games with it, starting with simple which way book type games and then moving on to 2 step animation and movement. I didn't have the optional floppy, so when I shut off the computer, my work was gone. I used to write the code in a notebook and have to type it in again. I used to keep it on and switch the TV back to TV and raise hell if my mom turned off the unit. Then I moved on to a PC JR with Cartridge Basic and after that QuickBasic on Windows 3.1. Fun times.
