At home we had a Commodore 64 and it will have been something like street fighter 1, or a side scrolling beat em up like double dragon or it might have even been kikstart 2 (I’ve still got it in mint condition).it could also have been a demo tape from zzap 64 magazine that my parents bought, I remember getting to play one of the viz games from that magazine once which were very sweary and rude-but god bless them and the lack of anti gaming rants from Jo Frost at the time, luckily my parents thought computer games were all “ for kids”. It’s that very belief that led to my school teachers in junior school using doom and canon fodder etc as rewards on the acorn computers if we were more controllable that day.
The first game I played at school was actually really cool and it’s such a shame it hasn’t been put out there to play,being completely retro abandonware.
It was called Pen Down, and I first got to play this on the BBC micro computer.it was a coding game and you were a triangle,or as the game very creatively imagined you-you were a turtle. You had to write different codes to get this triangle….sorry,turtle to draw whatever your skill allowed you to. If you had a disability that affected your use of education and numbers like me then you would just find it impossible to draw with,I used to look at what other kids had done in awe. You had to write F120 for example to go forward quite far which would draw a line or L for left, B for back, R for right etc, back then it was well above its time even though it was just black and white, as it opened the world of coding to kids.
