Short: Creative Computing's BASIC Games Author: 'Creative Computing' magazine. Uploader: VentziStudent usa net (Ventzislav Tzvetkov) Type: game/misc Requires: Commodore AmigaBASIC Version 1.2 by Microsoft Corp. Architecture: generic Creative Computing's BASIC Games -------------------------------- This is a collection of BASIC games from the early days of hobby computing and the famed 'Creative Computing' magazine. The games are text-only (no graphics!) and include many classic BASIC games of the era. The games will run on most versions of Microsoft BASIC, including MBASIC, BASICA, GW-BASIC, AmigaBASIC etc. The programs were found scattered among several CP/M software archives and appear to have been part of a disk-based collection of BASIC games published by Creative Computing in about 1982. Originally supplied in tokenised MBASIC form, each game has been converted to pure ASCII to allow its use by most Microsoft Basic interpreters. Organised as a disk collection, a loader program MENU.BAS and MENU2.BAS are used to access all games on the disk. As an original source of the Creative Computing games could not be found, it is possible that some games may have been modified or are missing. The only requirement for a game's inclusion in this collection is that it contained the Creative Computing sign-on message.
