Here in France we had very popular set of computer (Thomson TO7, MO5, MO6 etc...) that were provided with a Light Pen in standard. That what was fun to draw directly on the screen on painting software. And point menu item directly. A kind of ancestor of touch screen.

I thought the light pen on my Vectrex was, like, a new thing.

I had a Light Pen even on my Commodore 64. That was a relatvily commun device at that time.

Earliest experience with Dos was either 3.1 or 3.3 on a 3.5 inch floppy in A: drive and wordperfect in B: drive. Jeez, dos was the bomb, remember doing copycon directly into a .bat file and doing it perfectly with out any typos, now that was fun!

You and your fancy 8088. The first one at our house was an IBM PC Jr. which we later added a card to it that you could flip a switch on the back between PC jr mode and PC mode. But hey, it played King's Quest 1 great along with ton's of other great games like Battle Chess back in the day.......
