another Atari MSB game: MilleBorne

[+hloberg]

Here is another Atari Microsoft BASIC game Mille Borne. This game has a rather odd history; it started out as an Atari BASIC game that I got a long time ago from, I have no idea? The 1st translation I made was to the TI-99/4a in TI Extended BASIC several years back. That was a rather difficult translation and almost took a full rewrite. Recently I translated to the CoCo2 BASIC from the TI-99/4a. That was a rather simple translation since TIXB is very MSBASIC like (which CoCo uses). Yesterday I decided to translate it from the CoCo BASIC to Atari Microsoft BASIC which took only a couple hours since both are MS BASIC based. So it took 20+ years for me to translate Mille Borne from Atari BASIC to Atari Microsoft BASIC. ?

the game autoboots and loads MSB 2.7 from disk. ENJOY

Hehe,

 

played the card game as a child with my parents and nowadays I play the card game with my two children. The Atari Basic (1 player vs. computer) version is also available at atarimania:
