Ive done my homework so far so I understand the basics of how the hardware works. I have the original self teaching manual for Atari BASIC and I would like to use it but I cant find the software. I guess its the IDE im looking for the original blue screen with programs written using line numbers. ive seen people on youtube using it but I cant find it. is that crimson? I have the latest version of Batari Visual Basic and it is working fine but I want to program the original way.

Hello, I can't seem to figure this out. I want to program in the original Basic just like I used to on the Atari 800 when I was a kid. I'm using a windows 7 os and I have 32 at work and 64 at home. I have tried several times to download the link from the Batari Basic download page from the batari basic website. I can unzip the files and try to run 2600bas and it gives me a command prompt window that flashes and goes away quickly. I have tried several times. anybody know what I should do? I can hardly wait to get my feet wet coding with line numbers again.
