  I recall my dad bought a book with VIC 20 games printed. And you bet I typed them all in. And then had to debug them.

  It wasn’t this one but it was very similar: archive.org/details/games-for-your-vic-20/…/1up

  And this book came with the computer and taught me how to code: archive.org/details/…/1up

  Such fun memories. And now I’m CEO of a software company haha.

  I used to write them on a Smith Corona correctable typewriter because we didn’t have a PC at home and then bring them into school to type in in the computer lab after school for computer club
