This is the very first game that I ever wrote for any computer. I wrote it when I was only 10 years old in 1984, and only now, have I unleashed it onto the Internet. The game runs on the Atari 8-bit (that's the 400/800/XL/XE) in Basic. To run the game, type in:  RUN"D:LINECRAS.BAS" and press RETURN. You can view the source code (the Basic listing) by either breaking out of the game, or by using 'LOAD' instead of 'RUN' when loading the game.

The idea is to use the joystick to try and draw a line around your opponent. If they crash into a line, they die, and you win.

A good place for this file would be atari/8bit/Games
