Edited by David Ahl of Creative Computing Magazine, the books feature type-in
BASIC games, including such classics as Animal, Blackbox, Eliza, Hammurabi,
Lunar LEM Rocket, Mugwump, and Hunt the Wumpus. Big Computer Games also
includes Rollercoaster, a unique computer-operated videodisc adventure game
for the Apple ][ computer.
The two earlier books feature illustrations by George Beker, which will be
instantly recognizable by anyone who read these books or Creative Computing
magazine 20 or more years ago.
The books are available with the permission of David Ahl. With this
announcement, AtariArchives.org has reached the milestone of making 25 classic
computer books available on the Web.
