Speaking of getting games for your Atari collection... in 1980 I began
writing a SRAT TREK simulation (Text Adventure) for the Atari on my 400. It
took me 3 years to complete because I was learning to program in BASIC as I
was writing it..hehehe. Anyway I completed Star Trek Mission Omega just in
time for my RIGHTS granted from paramount to expire.
I was offered a $3,000 check to distribute it and a 10% royalty on all games
sold... but Paramount in 1983 withdrew all "RIGHTS" granted and so I never
sold my game.
I still have a working (crude) copy. I never got around to cleaning uo the
code, but the dang thing works!!! Any Atari user can download the game from
my BBS...it's the ONLY download I have on-line hahahaha.
