Steve Wozniak made a (likely) passing reference to this book while reminiscing about writing BASIC from scratch for the original Apple:

Woz refers to a book named "101 Games in BASIC", which may be different from "BASIC Computer Games", but I haven't been able to confirm with certainty one way or the other. Either way, his testimonial is impressive:
The other 'bible' was a book "101 Games in BASIC." I was a fan of computer games and knew that as soon as I had a computer of my own I would want to type in all these games to play. Judging by my own feelings, I assumed that this would be a key to starting a home computer revolution.
