This section has programs that can be typed into Bally or Astro BASIC. Note that some programs are only compatible with one version of BASIC. Though this list has a 'Compatability' column, it is meant as a general rule of thumb only (refer to the Tape Program FAQ for full compatibility information).
A Bally BASIC program may run under Astro BASIC (or vice versa), but probably with some defiencies (for instance, most of the time Bally BASIC programs when run under Astro BASIC are missing sound), or the program may not run correctly except in the version of BASIC it was written for (unless it is tweaked).
Sometimes when a program was printed in a newsletter, it would have errors. Any corrections that were printed are included with these programs. Also, the appearance of each programs is noted by page number. To know which issue this refers to, refer to the Arcadian FAQ.
