Simple port to the Atari. Written and tested in Altirra using Atari BASIC.
Fairly direct port to the Atari using the same graphics characters for the Lander and the flame.
Cursor movements have been replaced with POSITION statements.
Joystick input has been implemented to replace the keyboard for the game play. The prompts to restart the game and choose difficulty level are still using the keyboard.
Since Atari BASIC supports longer, meaningful variable names, the variables have been updated for better readability.
The zip file includes:

The zip file includes:
- ATA_LNDR.BAS --- Atari BASIC tokenized SAVE'd file.
- ATA_LNDR.LIS --- ATARI BASIC LIST'd text file. (Atari End Of Line format/CHR$(155))
- ATA_LNDR.LTX--- ATARI BASIC LIST'd text file with PC End Of Lines instead of Atari CHR$(155). Useful for editing outside of the Atari and then ENTERing it back in from an emulator's Host drive (such as the Altirra emulator.)
