Bally BASIC Sampler

Bally BASIC Sampler © 1978 Bally Mfg. Co.

This tape was included with the 300-BAUD Tape Interface for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. It contains two BASIC programs on each side. Each program contains at least three BASIC examples. The following programs are on the two-sided tape.

Side 1:

1. Electric Doily - Video Art/Graphics. Places a random square on the screen and reflects it eight times to create a symmetrical pattern.
2. Line Graph - Draws a line graph to match the numbers you input.
3. Monthly Records - A bar graph shows month-to-month levels of amounts which you input.
4. Electronic Music - Uses the musical tones in your Arcade to create electronic music. [This program sounds different in "AstroBASIC" when compared to when it runs in Bally BASIC.]
5. Number Match - Guessing games are a favorite among programmers because they are short and easy to understand. See your programming course for details.

Side 2:

1. Lunar Lander - Land on the moon with this computer simulation.
2. Gravity Game - Keep the dot on the screen.
3. Newtonia '500' - Fly a ship where there is no gravity or friction and see how Sir Isaac Newton's laws operate.
