    Short summary describing this game.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Up to nine lines of programming code could be entered in a basic-esque programming language, using both of the Atari 2600 keypad controllers. Due to a 64 character limitation, and the Atari's own RAM size, only extremely simple programs could be written and executed. Intended as a learning tool, Basic Programming was not intended for serious programming, indeed, there is no way to permanently store a program once written, as the Atari lacks recordable media.
