Seriously? I wrote an AppleBasic game in fourth grade (1984) that did that.
And by "did that", I mean literally that's exactly all it did. Squares came
into the screen the left and moved to the right, and you got points if you
hit a key exactly when they crossed a line in the middle of the screen. Sure
wish I'd published that code.
