Funny, that is how I started too!
The first program I saw was a "bird" that flew randomly around the
text screen and pooped when you pressed space bar. There was a "car"
that when from left to right on the bottom of the screen and then
started over, like a clock. You had to hit it. The other game was
Zork.
