Customer Reviews

Great resource for BASIC programmers, Apple ][ or otherwise.

Even if you're not an Apple ][ user, this book is a great way to learn how to program in BASIC. It walks you through programming two games, "Space Derelict" (a text adventure), and "Five-Card Draw" (a poker game). It also contains some good game-design tips and solid information. Definitely worth a read.
