Yes. I wrote a version of Minesweeper for the Amstrad CPC, a home computer popular in 1987 (though I wrote it a few years later). I think it was about 5-10Kb in size, not 300. The CPC only had 64k of memory anyway, though a 128k model was available.

- codazoda 2y agoProbably a little later but I had an Amstrad 8086 as a teen. I think it was the first computer I bought with my own money.
