My first computer was really "BASIC Computer Games" by Creative Computing. I spent a lot of time poring over those programs and hunt-and-pecking them on a TRS-80 at the local Radio Shack. Eventually my dad bought me a TRS-80 Model I from a old guy with a one-eyed cat. The Model I's poor RF shielding interfered with my dad's ham radio reception. He was a real good sport about it, though, and it was probably a factor in him getting me a Commodore 64 when that came out.
