I guess the 2000s count, especially since I was working with 90s era technology when I learned to program. I miss QBasic. I don't think programming has been so much fun since. One of our projects was to make an animated Christmas card, with carols playing over the built-in sound. Later on, a friend and I worked on making a really stuttery, buggy version of Slime Volleyball. Everything you needed was built in, and the in-IDE documentation was great.
