The old 80s microcomputers were absolutely ideal for this, and the other magical thing was that you'd just boot up and start typing. You could use BASIC to write software that wasn't quite as good as what you'd buy, but it was in the ballpark, which was very exciting for a kid learning to program. Roblox I think is the modern version of this.
