Did anyone use to ‘play’ the MS-DOS Logo drawing game at school?

1. I remember we had a more modern version of it that could process really long commands to draw really complex patterns with different colours.

   Edit: Related – Did anyone else used to have “roamer” robots? My primary school used to have these robots which were basically an IRL version of logo. They could be commanded to move in different directions and we could stick a pen in them so they’d draw over a sheet of paper as they moved.

2. Dos? I used it on an Amstrad PCW running CP/M Plus. Monochrome green and black screen and loaded off 3” disks. 3” mind you, not 3.5” floppies.

3. Ours was BBC Micro but looked just like that. The one for Apple IIe and gs over the next few years was pretty damn similar.

   We only used it in class – in between we had a couple people with disks of Chuckie Egg, Frogger, QBert, Cybertron Mission, Centipede etc.

4. Turtle game! Brings back some good times 😀

5. I recall Logo, moving the turtle, etc.

   But it was long after DOS was in popular use. Was a Windows app, and even let you make your own GUIs in the procedures.

6. We played Defender on the school computer.
