Back in the mid to late 90's the only thing that could run on our high school PCs was DOS based programs. We had Windows, but everything was locked down and we couldn't install games.
So once we learned about QBasic, everyone suddenly became a pro at nibbles and gorillas because that was the only thing available. That is until I found a shareware site with the source code for a bomberman clone.
But the new excitement brought new demands and my best friend and I spent many afternoons hacking changes into the code. Reverse engineering bomberman was my first experience with coding.
You can download the source here on this wonderful site. Just do a search for bomberman.

You'll need to find an intepreter, obviously. Not for the German, for the code.
