It's really cool to see how many people shared the same experience!
In random order, and off the top of my head:
- pong
- some various demo where I would simulate fireworks or
traveling through star (in other words particles that are
rendered by drawing dots and circles on screen)
- a car racing game viewed from the top
- an RPG engine but never actually made a level
- a claw machine
- and finally my own remake of space invader where you could
play up to 4 in coop and upgrade your weapons. It had bosses
and swarms of enemies. I learn then there was a limit of how
many keys you can press on a keyboard before your computer starts beeping.
