Me too. Learned programming on c64.

Wrote a D&D character generator. Worked pretty good.

Messed with sound a bunch. Apocalyptic chords.

Hacked up freeware games.

Made lots of generative art

Poked random stuff till the machine crashed prettily

On a TRS-80 Model 1, "POKE 16403, 47" was messing with the video controller. Created some really weird screens. Had to reboot to recover.
