Thanks for the answer. I bought the book anyway because reading the listings may still prove useful, even if the code doesn't translate. But it's good to know.

I've read about old books for programming a BBC Micro with BASIC, where the games were in books written as code you would have to type in yourself. This book in particular caught my attention: http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/eug/revs/collins/Bbc_Micro_Wa...

I feel like the answer is obvious but I'm going to ask anyway: if I were to take the programs from one of these books and code it into this machine, is it likely to work?
