They were just getting TRS-80s in my high school, my last year (1984). We learned you had to strike the keys very lightly - not like on the manual typewriters in the typing lab! - and how to program very basic BASIC.

No adventures. It was boring.

Commodore 64, and a VIC20.
Got to do a BASIC language text adventure on that.
