David Ahl's Basic Computer Games Ported to C

These haven't been tested, validated, debugged, or verified!

Yes, I used Google Anti-Gravity to convert the programs from GW-BASIC to 'C', but what a better learning tool than to debug a program?

This repository contains a 'C' port of the classic GW-BASIC games from David Ahl's "BASIC Computer Games" and "More BASIC Computer Games" originally published by Creative Computing.
