For starters, how about Chemist, Chief and Hammurabi? I don't have
my
copy of "BASIC Computer Games" with me, so
I'm hard pressed to
remember
titles.
CHIEF I certainly have. "I AM CHIEF NUMBERS FREEK, THE GREAT INDIAN
MATH GOD."
HMRABI is on my website; I'll mail you the original if you want it (the
differences are RANDOMIZE, and removal of LET, mostly).
CHEMIST I don't know. Could it possibly have another title?
Long ago, I used to convert EDUsystem BASIC programs
to PET BASIC. I
had
more success with some than others. I did manage to
port the
72-column
Star Trek game (with three-character wide ships in the
short-range
display)
to the PET. I played that one for hours and hours.
