Publisher's description
From AW Software :From the developer: "Each game included in the collection is an original, un-cut classic game from the '70s and early '80s. Some of the games included are: Super Star Trek, Hamurabi, Lunar Lander, Elisa, Towers of Hanoi, Wumpus, BioRhythm, Life, Animal, ASCII Art, and many others. Many of these were published in David Ahl's Creative Computing Magazine. These games run as native windows apps via my Classic Microsoft BASIC compatible interpreter. The interpreter will run original tokenized or ASCII programs, and can be used to run any BASIC program as well as the games included in this package."

Version: Classic Basic Games 1.0
"This is good, but only if you are willing to learn."
Pros: This is classic computer stuff. These are the types of games that were around a lot in the 70's. If you want to learn something about the kind of logic it takes to write code, or design games, this is a good place to start. People who knew how to do this stuff are responsible for the "real" arcade type games that are out now. This is where it all began. Want to learn? Willing to read? Download it!
Cons: If you're looking for "polished" graphics and epileptic seizures, don't look here. If you don't want to have to think, don't look here. The reason you are seeing either good or bad reviews is because this is something you are either going to love or hate. It is not because the submitters are "stacking" the reviews. No interest in learning? To lazy to read? Don't bother.

Version: Classic Basic Games 1.0
Pros: This is what computer games were like only 25 years ago. You had to learn Basic and write your own to play. No graphics, but then graphics aren't everything.

"stupid, not really classic games"
Summary: no real animation going on, just entering numbers (at least on lunar lander, an awesome old game). verrrry tedious, threw it out immediately.
