I agree with you since I had a very similar story with computers. Some day my brothers and I discovered the computer had something called QBASIC and it had a few games, which we then noticed you coudl change and totally mess up. And it had a HELP that explained everything! And it had a way to do prettier graphics than what NIBBLES.BAS and GORILLA.BAS had! Eventually my older brother found the QBASIC compiler and we kept copies of that floppy just in case some failed.
When I got older I did a few things in C, but didn't get the chance to go too deep much into it because when I started university at 18 I pretty much stopped programming for fun, until my graduation project began and I got in touch with Python.
