I played with a lot of basic stuff as a kid - but it was my senior year in high school that I think I hit a real pinnacle. My friends and I that spent all our time in the schools computer lab wrote a game - now it was just a simple text adventure game. It was like a choose your own adventure book - using goto statements based on choices but it was incredible. We called it "Computer Room Adventure" and it was full of amazing, witty and cutting commentary on the school and the people in it. It was cutting edge - there was a section where it didn't matter what keys you chose, we printed out a message that made it feel like you were typing it. And we made fun of Andrew a lot - and you know that guy deserved it. It was probably one of the greatest losses of our civilisation when that 5 and a quarter floppy bit it.
