First game I ever played was on those 8” floppies. It was a turtle game where you would type in DOS commands and make it move. I can’t remember the command prompts but it was fun enter like forward 1000 and it would blast across the screen.

Good old turtle. You could also program loops, so you could make fancy shapes like circles.

Logo ? Anyway there was a this "programming langue" with a turtle and it had like 6 commands : move forward/backwards, turn left/right, pen up/down :-D
