What a fantastic book to learn how to program games for the Intellivision. Oscar Toledo G. is also the creator of the IntyBASIC programming language.
After learning some basics about the Intellivision hardware architecture and an introduction to color, cards, sprites, and reading the hand controllers, each subsequent chapter introduces a new game.
Each game is built up slowly. So if you take the time to type in each game, and read the code and supporting text, you'll learn in a specific way how to do the generic things any game needs.
