'''''BASIC Programming''''' was released for the [[Atari 2600]] console in [[1979]]. One of only a few non-gaming cartridges, this program allowed consumers to create some simple programs using its own unique programming language, which was superficially similar to dialects of [[BASIC]], but differed in many important respects. The extremely small RAM memory size of the Atari 2600, 128 bytes, severely restricted the possibilities of this cartridge.

The ''BASIC Programming'' display is divided into six regions:

*"Program" - where instructions are written (maximum of nine lines of code).

*"Stack" - shows temporary results of what your program does.
