HP48 was my jam.

It was not my start, but I did have one, and I did write code for it and download games

Nope, but I played the crap out of Snake on it during HS calculus class.

I had an AP Stats teacher who lent me a TI Basic book and offered me extra credit to make a helper program for the class. Had a lot of fun making it, and played a lot of Pegs along the way.

Writing games on that (using the device keyboard) was a humbling lesson in patience.

HP48G for me. Still have it somewhere, but now I usually use an emulator app on my phone.

TI-85 here, and yes, my back hurts.

Yep! TI BASIC was my first programming language. Used to make games in class.

Yep! Made a whole slew of games for this: - Multiplayer Battleships with cable-based sync - A platformer with collision detection using the graphics systems! - A casino of various mini games
