Only that one tape and it is an official Aquarius tape.  Came with the 
computer with Aquarius printed across the top of the label and the six game 
names printed below.  Strange, the way they set it up, to find "Mad Mould", 
you tell it to look for "Mould". For Alien Quest, you tell it to look for 
Alien.
Macho Man = Macho, Cute Cubes = Cubes. Torment, Stalactite = torment & 
stalactite.  The booklet tells you to look for "Alien Quest" which scared me 
as it would never find it, then I noticed that the computer was skipping 
"Alien", so I tried just Alien and it found it. Found and loaded the rest the 
same way.

Frontline is yours and you can have the fishing case also. Who knows, maybe 
its just dirty contact points...

Sigh, shareware junk huh? grin...
Thanks but no thanks, could not afford the phone calls unless you got a 1-800 
number, snicker...Then again, Vermont charges for any minutes over the first 
$7.00 worth per month so it still wouldn't work for me.
Got any Duke3d stuff? Add-ons? Commercial add-on packs? Can't find much 
around here (4 add-ons total).  Been also looking for the Doom 1 as I got a 
cd with half of it full of Doom1 wads.  Tried converting them to Doom2 but 
that was a disaster... Don't need any editors as I'm not into making wads.
So, in a nutshell: tell me what you want to do and whether I can pack up the 
present stuff or wait for anymore cart lists from you.
PS: I had mentioned Small overlays for the keypads(paddles?) on some of the 
carts but after looking at them, the only ones I got are for the games:
Colico Super Action Football, Coleco Super Action Baseball and Coleco Front 
Line. sorry...
Hey, got any hint books you want to dump? grin... Or better still, I need an 
Apple 2e operating disc on 5 1/4 floppie for my old Franklin Ace 500 system 
and any programs that would run on it. But the operating disc is needed most!
Come on, nudge, nudge, I really want to clear out this Atari stuff. I got 3-4 
2600 consoles and even a 5200 one with four games for it. Not to mention, 
power packs, paddles, hookup wires etc., sigh...
Even got a Colico plugin console (plugs into the atari 2600 so you can run 
colico carts on it, BUT!, one day I put in a cart that someone had taken 
apart and put back together backwards and it blew out the colico console. 
Lesson to be learned: NEVER put in a cart that looks like it may have been 
previously opened by some uneducated wanna-be!!!
Hey again, I've got an original Nintendo system with 4 games to get rid of 
also. Bought it at a yard sale on a whim and cheap price. Everything works 
though the contact points need a better cleaning than I was able to give 
hem.
That would go as a set...
Darn, this has turned into a letter, the moderators gonna hate me.  Got a 
workable netmail address? hehehhee...
