There's a file somewhere in one of the trs-80 model 100 archives that has a name like sexy.ba (filenames are 6.2 and .ba is basic)
When you run it it gives some generic "are you ready to have fun?" kind of message, but then crashes. But it's BASIC so you just go to the crashed line and fix a typo. Run, crashes a few lines later, you fix something slightly trickier like an array index out of range, run,... 3 or 4 of those total and it just ends "You learned how to debug and fix programs! Congratulations! Wasn't that fun?"
I have to say I was actually unreasonably entertained, so hats off to the author.
