In highschool I made what I thought was a shit-tier space invaders out of printing to console one character at a time. Rather than keep a frame buffer of characaters, I was scanning and modifying specific "pixel" characters as needed for performance like game of life but home-brew for my character-based space invader type enemies. The game had a major memory leak by the time I got to presenting but that served as a perfect timer for the next player to get a turn. We didn't demo any other games once we got to it. After class, I was not happy how many times it crashed but somebody corrected me - it was the only actual video game anyone made. Most were card games or guessing games. Lost the source code because my floppy disk somehow got corrupted on the way home from the last day of school.
