I wrote a game in QBasic when I was 10. At the time I didn't understand the concept of a sub routine _returning_ after being called. So the end of each sub just called another sub (perhaps even the calling sub to create loops). You won by beating the game before getting a stack overflow.



I also used QBasic as a child, I had some GWBasic book as references which rooouuughly matched the Syntax and provided functions. But I also remember not really understanding sub routines... Anyway, this was my experience with goto and good old fashioned spaghetti code ;)
