Being in my dotage I remember it only to well (and the ZX80 which lacked colour). But you are quiet right. There was something satisfying about sitting there for hours on end, typing in lines of code and use key combinations which makes the use of ALT and CTRL codes laughably simple, and then pressing run and playing a game that you had entered. Even if it was a game too simple for words and one which the tape recorder decided you sit down and enter all over again when it decided not to save it.
