Synopsis "Commodore 16 Games Book (in English)"
First published in 1984, this book enabled a whole new generation to learn game coding on their Commodore 16 - an unusual and relatively rare machine that had a processor which was faster than that of the famous C64, possessed more efficient screen memory, had a much faster BASIC interpreter... yet came supplied with just a quarter of the memory held by its older brother.Despite the machine's lacklustre performance in the US, sales in Europe were strong and the machine retains a large fan base to this day. Popular in Easter bloc countries - particularly Hungary - the machine was the first home computer that many people owned; it therefore retains a significant 'nostalgia factor' amongst its userbase. As the original publisher Melbourne house wrote: * * * *If you 're only going to get one games book for your Commodore 16 then this is the book for you!Easy to Program: With the unique CHEXSUM verification program you can make sure your games are bug free.Hard to Beat: Games that will test your reflexes, your nerve, your logic, your strategy and your intelligence - educational games, simulation games, gambling games and much more!All these games explore to the fullest the extended graphics and sound facilities of the new, easier to use BASIC.* * * *Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproductions Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.
