First game I ever played was on those 8” floppies. It was a turtle game where you would type in DOS commands and make it move. I can’t remember the command prompts but it was fun enter like forward 1000 and it would blast across the screen.

Logo wasn't a game but a programming language.

As far as I can remember, it was both, as it was an educational tool developed to teach children the basics of programming while playing it as a game.

Good old turtle. You could also program loops, so you could make fancy shapes like circles.

That sounds like Logo

Logo ? Anyway there was a this "programming langue" with a turtle and it had like 6 commands : move forward/backwards, turn left/right, pen up/down :-D
