This discussion jogged an old memory. I recall in the 3rd or 4th ('83 or
'84) grade we would get a trip down to the computer lab once a week to get
some hands on time with the computers (TRS-80s). The two things that stand
out in my mind is playing a Whale typing game, where you had to learn to
type faster before getting swallowed, and the other was an adventure game
where you ate a Twinkie. The name of that game has longed escaped by memory
however.
