Same story here !

For nostalgia's sake, may I ask what games/software you developed at the time ?

On my end, I did:

  - Snake, and a Snake level editor,
  - Sokoban, and a Sokoban level editor,
  - an adventure game Zelda (NES) alike (but was not fun at all !)
  - Graphic calculator (to help me visualize the change of parameters quickly),
  - a software to visualize my grades compared to the rest of the group
  - I made a software to search and categorize html tags

(during my high school years)

What impressed me the most at the time, was that my binary file compiled on Windows ME would work directly on my other computer with Windows 3.1.

This is something I still really enjoy today with Go(lang); the fact that I can just compile for other platforms and run it natively.

- pong - some various demo where I would simulate fireworks or traveling through star (in other words particles that are rendered by drawing dots and circles on screen) - a car racing game viewed from the top - an RPG engine but never actually made a level - a claw machine - and finally my own remake of space invader where you could play up to 4 in coop and upgrade your weapons. It had bosses and swarms of enemies. I learn then there was a limit of how many keys you can press on a keyboard before your computer starts beeping.
