Denthor of Asphyxia!
I didn't remember what it was by read those back in the early 90s as well, learning to program on a 486 with an early SVGA card. I think I downloaded them on a trial of AOL, my parents wouldn't/couldn't pay for AOL but I sucked all those tutorials down when I had a chance.
I was taking Pascal in school but learned a ton more from those tutorials. I wrote an asteroids type game and got tons of eye rolls from the teacher as the other students were playing my game after I shared the source. I had done the whole years curriculum in a month or two and then sat there and wrote games in class. The teacher didn't really care as I'd just about matched his knowledge by the middle of the year. He was a great teacher, had a PhD in math which was pretty darn rare for high school.
Those tutorials had a significant effect on my chosen career path.
