My first book was an awesomely illustrated games programming book for BASIC that my dad gave me when I was around 7 or 8. It had a number of games in each book, and they provided the entire source for the game in text on the pages that you could type into the computer and play the game. Each game had great illustrations and had an explanation of the game itself. The next logical step for me was to start hacking away at the games, first changing variables to modify the game, and eventually writing my own simple games. I'm a full time developer now and I owe a lot to my dad and to those books. I've been completely unable to find information on the books, and would love to get some copies of them now. If anyone knows the names of these books and / or where to get them, I would absolutely love to hear.
