BASIC Programming
10 PRINT “I can’t believe they made this!!!”
20 GOTO 10
RUN
BASIC Programming was released for the Atari 2600 way back in 1979. One of only a few non-gaming cartridges, this program allowed people to create simple programs using its own unique programming language, which was fairly the same as BASIC, but still differed in many different ways. The extremely small RAM memory size of the Atari 2600, 128 bytes, severely restricted the possibilities of this cartridge.
BASIC Programming required two Atari keyboard controllers, and came with special overlays to show how to type the different commands and letters.
