👩💻 Join me today as I explore for the first time, this "BASIC Programming" non-game cartridge for the ATARI 2600 ... where I finally find out if it is really as bad as people say, and if this dialect of BASIC is worthy of the title "WORST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE EVER MADE".
🟣 In the video, I firstly answer the big question, how do you program a 2600 without a keyboard.
🟣 Then go on to explore how to enter and edit a program, through typing in a demo.
🟣 Show it’s audio capabilities through code, and get the Atari to play some sounds.
🟣 And finally giving it the greatest test, coding and playing a game of pong.
