Finally and with a lot of work editing and drawing Dave Hassler and Nils Andreas present to you a blast from the past:

BASIC PROGRAMS

52 Games for smaller 8-bit Computers

From the late 1970s through most of the 1980s, BASIC was the computer language that ruled bedrooms, basements, and dens around the world. Kids — and quite a few grown-ups — hunched over the keyboards of their home computers into the wee hours of the morning. They sought treasure in mysterious dungeons, the satisfaction of manipulating words and numbers at the speed of light, and connection and friendship with the like-minded at 300 bits per second.

New and Rare BASIC Programs is your time machine back to those days. In this book, the authors have collected and edited 52 programs for the computers of that era, including several that have been buried in forgotten archives for decades. Crack secret codes with a program from 1970 originally called Moo, rule over an Italian city-state, smash a fastball out of the park, and play cards against robotic twins. You can even defend the galaxy from the feared Klingons with the earliest known version of the Star Trek game written specifically for a microcomputer.
1977 is not as far away as you might think. . .

Yes, you read that right: a real, printed book packed with BASIC programs for you to type in yourself!
Featuring 170 pages in a practical wire-bound format, this book brings the spirit of classic home computing back to life.
Prof. Stefan Höltgen, computer archaeologist at the University of Bonn, calls this kind of publication “Paperware.” And as far as we know, this is the first printed book dedicated to classic BASIC code in two decades.

Discover 52 new and rare programs, type them in yourself, and experience the hands-on joy of programming the old-school way.

Distribution in North America is handled by Dave Hassler. In Europe, the book is available directly from me.
