Some of the programs are bare-bones simple. Others take advantage of Atari BASIC's sophisticated colour graphics and sound. Keep in mind that the Atari is famous for its colourful, sound-arific games! Simply type them in and use them to manage your checkbook or to keep an inventory of household goods. You can even play graphic games, shooting down MIG fighters or battling the monster Grendel, or one of the evil Ghost Town Vampire girls. You can also compose music, encrypt or decrypt private files. What's special about this book is that its programs take advantage of all the sophistication of Atari BASIC. Its 6502 Motorola main processor talks to a separate graphics chip that offers great graphics for games, a feature that was unavailable on other home computers of the time. More particularly, in addition to graphics, Atari BASIC supports sound, (SOUND statement), graphics (GRAPHICS, SETCOLOR, COLOR, PLOT and DRAWTO), and peripheral units like joysticks (STICK, STRIG) and paddles (PADDLE, PTRIG).
