@brian Probably a lot, judging by some of the hidden Easter eggs that have turned up in programs like Excel over the years. The main limiting factor in a situation like mine would be that the computer network was closed (machines in a single room) and I don't imagine it lasted terribly long before they were forced to replace the hardware with something actually functional, eliminating anything left behind by people like me.
The only other useful thing we did with that network was play Lost Worlds combat books on it without the teachers noticing.
Oh, they very likely noticed that.

All those hours wasted on Zork when I was 25 is why I don't play computer games anymore.

@BigJackBrass Reminds me of the first and only time I played a text MUD. Hungry cat showed up and I typed "FEED CAT". Little did I know the FEED verb was for vampire type attacks. Cat rightfully killed me.
