Similar story for me. :-)

Noting down some of the differences below.

Game: Pacman

32 years ago (12-13 years of age)

Programmed in Sinclair BASIC on ZX Spectrum+

Took two weekends as I recall

Played only by me and a friend

Lost the source code: There was no non-volatile memory on the computer so I used to note down the programs manually in a notebook, which I've lost.

Similarity:

"Good times." :-)

PS: The 34 years old computer still works, though 90% of the keyboard keys have stopped working. I'll need to replace internal keyboard membrane and also get adapters to hook it to a monitor.
