Personal Computers Editorial Review
The book "Home Applications and Games for the Commodore 64" is a good read for novice programmers with some grasp of BASIC programming language. However, expert programmers may find the book too basic, and those who are not familiar with BASIC coding may struggle with some of the program codes and typos. The book is Consistently laid out, with the author explaining the program overview, sections, variables, and commented source code for each program. Readers may find other ways to use the programs described in the book. The author also provides some information about Retro Games' TheC64 Commodore clone that is not found in its user manual. Some readers may appreciate the possibility of expanding the functionalities of the programs to other versions of BASIC. One reviewer got the book for their 12-year-old son and found it an excellent place to start learning BASIC programming. Conversely, another reviewer found the book poorly written with many programming errors and wouldn't recommend it for anyone starting in retro computing.
