robsterman Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 On the Nexus site, someone posted a topic concerning the writing of an Atari 2600 for Dummies book. Personally, I think this will be a goldmine. There must be a way to write a book like this, so non-techie people can crate their own Atari 2600 games. So, was that a hoax, or is that something that will really happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterman Posted April 25, 2001 Author Share Posted April 25, 2001 People have commented that a non-techie could not learn how to program for the 2600. I couldn't agree more. Before I picked up the "how-to" books, I couldn't write a lick of code. Through these books, I am fluent in ASP, JavaScript, and DHTML. In short, it can be done. I think a Dummies guide for the Atari 2600 would be a goldmine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL In life, there's nothing impossible... just need to have time, knowledge, standard IQ and motivations... That's all the dummies need to have. So, they'll have to learn machine language, the complete stella manual.... and a lot of time.... sure it's possible.... but the question is : How long before they'll create something significant ?
