I remember I made a (in my eyes) pretty decent Donkey Kong in Extended Basic with my father. But we knew nothing about better variants, so our impression wasn't spoiled by that. I am sure the program and game was pretty crude in comparison to what you tried to get out of this TI device, but we had no notion of "maxing out the capabilities". We just programmed and had tremendous fun. Printing out the entire program on a matrix printer, and annotating changes with a pen. Precious times.
