I don't really agree. I'll bet you if you wrote a new BASIC game a good
percentage of the list would download it just to see what you had done.
For example, I always enjoyed Fred B. Scerbo's column in Rainbow. He
only did BASIC programming but he really pushed it to the limit. Star
Trench Warfare was a neat 3-d trick, for example, all BASIC.
I remember he had BASIC subroutines to do cross hatch areas fills w/
aliasing trick in PMODE4. Who would have thought that could be done in
BASIC?
