This triggered a memory from my childhood of finding Basic programming books published by Tab in the musty corners of my town's public library. Back when both computers and books seemed to be full of mystery and wonder.
I still have a TAB book called "Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80" by Frank Dacosta that I bought for $10 in 1985 or so. The code in there is kind of a nightmare, but at the time, I was just a kid, soaking it up.
