Give him an issue of Byte magazine and tell him to copy all 30 pages of machine language to the computer using the keyboard. Better yet, tel him that at the end of all the typing, there will be a game to play!

Yay!

II used to play with my Sinclair and get the code from some Sci-fi books that had games in it.
