About Atari Basic
Atari BASIC was developed in 1979 by Shepardson Microsystems for the Atari 8-bit family of home computers. It was created to provide users with a straightforward and accessible way to program software and games on these systems, leveraging the graphical and audio capabilities of the hardware.
Strengths of Atari BASIC included ease of use, good integration with Atari hardware, and a relatively low learning curve for beginners. Weaknesses involved slow execution speed and limited advanced features compared to other languages. Competitors included Microsoft BASIC, AppleSoft BASIC, and Commodore BASIC.
