hey, I learned on a Vic-20 too. Loved it and (to my parent's dismay) spent far too much time writing programmes than doing "normal" kid things. Then one day I got a book - something like "How to write adventure games". One of the best books I've ever read. I loved it This book showed me how to design and write, from scratch, a real adventure game. How to design a game and draw maps (well, I was pretty accomplished at that already), how mazes worked, how to parse and handle the standard verb-noun input. Everything! I remember writing games and taking them (on cassette) to show my teacher at school. Awesome times. [Edit: I've spent the last half hour looking, but no joy yet. It's not "Creating Adventure Games on Your Computer (Tim Hartnell) nor "Write Your Own Adventure Programs" (Jenny Tyler and Les Howarth)
