Calendar	Tape 3, Program 5
Checkbook Balancer & Compound Interest	Possibly Tape 6	Checkbook Balancer & Compound Interest. W&W Software Sales (Bob Weber). Possibly Tape 6. Bally BASIC, 300-BAUD. August 1979. This program uses the on-board calculator routines that were dropped from AstroBASIC, so this program will only work in the original Bally BASIC. - Comments by Paul Thacker: "The actual calculations seem reasonably fast considering the hardware. However, the interface leaves much to be desired. There aren't a lot of options, and more instructions would have been nice. I'd say these had limited use even whey they were released, and even less now."
	Tape 4, Program 2	Checkers. W&W Software Sales (Bob Weber). Tape 4, Program 2. Bally BASIC, 300-BAUD. 1979. Uses hand controller. The 8 positions of the joystick are used to move the flashing square from one square to the next. Position the flashing square on the checker you want to move, pull the trigger until the flashing square shuts itself off momentarily. Then position the flashing square on the next square you wish to move to, pull the trigger again and the computer will move your checker. In the case of a double jump, only make the first part of the jump, the computer will automatically jump the second checker; and the same on a triple jump. When the computer is ready to make his move, it will make a noise, and after it has moved the flashing square will indicate the piece it moved or jumped. 1 player.

	Tape 6	(Mortgage) Amortization Program. W&W Software Sales (Bob Weber). Tape 6, Program 2. 1979. Bally BASIC, 300-BAUD. This program calculates an amortization schedule. It accepts principle, interest, payment and number of months until the loan is paid off in-full. Notably missing is the ability to input an initial down payment. After some calculation time, the program prints a complete table of periodic loan payments to the screen. This program uses the on-board calculator routines that were dropped from AstroBASIC, so this program will only work in the original Bally BASIC. It was, however, converted to work with the Extended BASICs (Blue Ram and Vipersoft). The Extended BASIC version is listed in ARCADIAN 7, no. 1 (Jun. 01, 1985): 6. When Paul Thacker archived this program, he commented: "The actual calculations seem reasonably fast considering the hardware. However, the interface leaves much to be desired. There aren't a lot of options, and more instructions would have been nice. I'd say these had limited use even when they were released, and even less now." Adam Trionfo tried this program on October 29, 2021. He says, "I tried Amortization Program with a principle of $100,000, an interest rate of 3.24% for a 30 year (360 month) loan. The Bally Arcade calculated a monthly payment of $434.66. The total payed over the course of 30 years is $156,477. I checked this result against an online mortgage calculator and I got the exact same result."
