Re:A constructive look at the Atari 2600 BASIC cartridge by ansible on Thursday January 07, 2021 @12:17AM (#25667540)
Even the ZX80 / 81 had far more usefulness than Atari BASIC.

People wrote video games for it. Puzzle games like Black Box, board games like Chess (yes, I know the 2600 also had Chess, but you couldn't develop a Chess program on the platform itself).
