| Checkbook Balancer & Compound Interest | Possibly Tape 6 | August 1979. This program uses the on-board calculator routines that were dropped from AstroBASIC,
so this program will only work in the original Bally BASIC. - Comments by Paul Thacker: "The actual calculations seem reasonably fast considering the hardware. However, the interface leaves much to be desired. There aren't a lot of options, and more instructions would have been nice. I'd say these had limited use even whey they were released, and even less now." |

| Enhanced Lunar Lander | Tape 7 | This recording is incomplete. Paul Thacker, the person that archived this program, says, "The end of Enhanced Lunar Lander is missing. The only source I have for this is one of the recordings Adam made awhile back from what was originally Brett Bilbrey's tape collection. In that recording, the program cuts off suddenly. It looks like it was this way on the tape itself, but I couldn't be sure without recording the tape myself." |

| (Mortgage) Amortization | Tape 6 | August 1979. This program uses the on-board calculator routines that were dropped from AstroBASIC,
so this program will only work in the original Bally BASIC. It was, however, converted to work with the
Extended BASICs (Blue Ram and Vipersoft). The Extended BASIC version is listed in Arcadian, Vol. 7, Pg. 6. - Comments by Paul Thacker: "The actual calculations seem reasonably fast considering the hardware. However, the interface leaves much to be desired. There aren't a lot of options, and more instructions would have been nice. I'd say these had limited use even whey they were released, and even less now." |
