What you see here is an image scanned form the box of a game for Intelivision called...
"MR. BASIC MEETS BITS 'N BYTES"
"Learn computer programing while you play video games! It's the fun way to learn the BASIC language! Play 3 games! Play 3 ways! Type simple BASIC instructions on the computer keyboard to play the games... use the hand controllers to play the games... or combine the two! Learning BASIC computer programing is now simpler that ever!"
Don't you just love the TRON figure sdanding on the keyboard.

Hey Sketch. Kool picture of the game from the Intellivision. As for programming languages Yes basic is easy to learn to create a game. But sometimes. a game would be great if it as cross platformed as well For other computer systems. I'm looking as for others like Macintosh, Sun Microsystems Ultra 1's, Nextstation Open step, AIX, SGI Iris, Linux (Any distros). Thats what I usually do over here. Like when I am doing when working on Java. I try to work it in such a way that it will look good for all java enable platforms that handle it and use the capabilities of the machine itself.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! 
To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Yeah the bats look outta place in the photo.
There are 3 games in all. Box says this...
Vampire Bats Game
Vicious bats are after the exterminator! He's trapped on the roof! Make him run...jump...duck! Have him drop bombs on the bats!
The Cannon GameIt's one-on-one. The cannon vs. the missle launcher. One player fires the cannon! The other player launches the missles. The battel is on!
Mr. BASIC Game
There's a system failure! Bits & Bytes of information are ecaping from the computer. Make Mr. BASIC grab 'em and throw 'em back in!
THe game can be played using the regular intellivison controllor, but the neat thing is with the intellivision keyboard you type BASIC commands to play all the games. Neat way to learn BASIC.

Here's the SNAFU game I mentioned.

It plays just like the lightcycles exept with some different levels and turning options you can set.
I always thought it was a Tron spinoff, until seeing it was made in 1981. Interesting.
