Computer Games Micromasters is a 1984 beginner-friendly programming book by Patricia Grady that teaches readers to type in and experiment with simple computer games, originally written for the ZX Spectrum with conversion lines for the BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, and Commodore 64. It contains thirteen games—including Meteor Storm, Alien Invaders, Bananas, Spider’s Web, Target Practice, Fortune-Teller, Grand Slalom, Laser Locksmith, Blockbuster, Mu Torere, Cops and Robbers, Sorcerer’s Steps, Parcel Drop, and Forgery—with each section providing a playful scenario, instructions for playing, BASIC program listings, machine-specific variations, and notes explaining how the program works. The book encourages young programmers to alter colours, messages, difficulty, and speed, making it both a collection of type-in games and an accessible introduction to BASIC game programming on 1980s home computers.
