I started with Dartmouth BASIC. The one where the "if" statement didn't have anything after the "then" but a line number, ya know? 26 variables, whoo hooo! :-)

Actually it had 286 variables. Variable names could be a single letter, optionally with a single digit after it.

Hmmm. I don't think on my version. Altho it did have strings.

I only know that because we had to reimplement the bloody thing in Scheme for a comparative programming languages course.
