Sounds like you and I are of the same vintage. My earliest graphics programming was in 1982 at college. Our machines were Z-80's with 64K of RAM. The graphics card displayed 256x256 in 8 colors on a $10,000 color monitor. Graphics memory was bank-switched in the lower 48K of the address range. You accessed it by calling a function in the upper 16K which switched out the main memory, switched in the graphics, did the drawing primitive (pixels, lines, and flood-fills), and then switched main memory back before returning. Occasionally the bank switching would not work, so you would get to watch your code executing on the screen instead of the image you were drawing.

I took both computer graphics classes and then did an independent study project. I implemented the Fuchs-etc. Binary Space Partitioning algorithm for 3D hidden-surface removal. This is the same algorithm used in DOOM. During this time I spent more than one 40-hour day debugging. Good times.
