I still have my Atari, but I can't find the cable to the hard drive anymore. The computer still works, though. I loved that language as much as QBasic. It even had a nice feature to swap out pixels in existing characters, so you could design your own ASCII characters for text projects.
If you like some of the older stuff, check out TheBOB's work I've been posting, converted QBasic games and graphics demos to QB64. Bob was a graphics artrist in the 1980s. https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=27
The very last post in the thread has some more of his advanced programs, too. I hope to have the rest of his collection up today. My favorite, mini-golf, has one hole that is proving to be quite the challenge to convert. Kong 2, Pongg, LeapFrog, Soduko, and the yet to post Christmas Greeting, are among my personal favorites.
