About this game
This follow-up to The Computer Quiz features the same engine, but its hundred questions deal with the BASIC programming language.
As before, the player is given three "men," and loses a man every time a question is answered incorrectly.

Bonus men can be earned by answering ten questions correctly.
At the end of play, men are cashed in for points, meaning that the best possible score is 113.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks BASIC Programming for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
