I bought a Vic-20 and encouraged a few of my friends to push for this at christmas. We started coding for each other, taking cassette tapes around friends places and loading up our latest demo.
We all went onto the C-64 when it came out and produced some code that was seen in magazines.
Due to putting out code in the magazines two of us were offered a job at a games company.
I was 14 and my friend was 15. We were offered work coding and paid through some offshore thing. I can remember coding for 18 hours solid while drinking lots of coffee and getting hallucitations of machine code popping up in my vision all over the place. I remember turning to get a cake from the trolly and me and my mate Peter doing the same thing at the same time, we grabbed the same cake and it must of taken us about 2 mins to realise what was happening.
We eneded up choosing different cakes after lots of staring and thinking. I fell asleep with a good chocolate smile ontop of my C-64, When I woke up and looked at the screen I must have done about 350,000 random keystrokes with my face.
