Actually, this page is a perfect example of why I copied all these programs by hand:

101 BASIC Computer Games != BASIC Computer Games

The former is in various DEC dialects of BASIC which varied greatly even among each other, let alone with other vendors. For instance, BASIC on the EduSystem 50, a PDP-8 setup, was incompatible with BASIC on the EduSystem 30, let alone BASIC-PLUS on the PDP-11.

The latter has all of its games converted to a Microsoft BASIC-like format, which is outlined in the front of the book. But that is not all, a number of the games from 101 are removed (like Can-Am), others are added, and many of them are updated.

So while they are indeed similar, they are also different collections and this page makes the common mistake of failing to notice this.

Used BASIC+ on PDP-11 RSTS/E for years. Later working for DEC, I did a few migrations of BASIC-Plus and BP2 apps to DEC BASIC on VAXen and AXPs. With the exception of Transcomm modules, most of it went without changes. Good memories.
