Ugclone Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 i heard that dark chambers was made for the 8-bit computers. Just wondering if it's any different than the 7800 version. Oh, and if anyone has a copy for trade/sale let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 According to Andrew Kreig's list that Alex pointed out in another thread.. Yes. There was a Dark Chambers cartridge made that requires 64K RAM to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 I have it, but I don't remember much about it. I'll plug it in tonight and have a look. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 I don't yet have this cart for my Atari 8-bit collection. Anyone have an extra they'd like to trade? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 I think B&C was selling it for $9.99 new in the box (that's where I got mine, but that was a year ago). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Has this ever shown up? It seems to be similar to Gauntlet in screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we can just play Dandy, which is where they all came from anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfollowell Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm fairly certain I have a CAR image, but not an actual cartridge. I'd have to look to confirm though. I thought this was a definite release, though I can't say as I've ever really seen one in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I want the college software!!!!! I want it now! come on 4 Atari's networked playing a graphical dungeon crawler in 1982 perhaps someone should contact college? thesis stuff tends to turn back up when asked to dig around maybe fujinet/dragon/midinet/multijoy/ omg versions could be made? That sort of thing would ingnite retronews and gaming history folks big time Edited February 25, 2021 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link - I'll give that a try. I'm not really collecting carts these days due to space (well, I do seem to have at least one of every flash cart made). I just wonder if the cart was an official release, or a repro that got put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) https://sites.google.com/site/jackpalevich/home a place to get the ball rolling, perhaps a chance to get Jack's attention to the matter and foot in to MIT where papers and code may very well be sitting. Who knows what will turn up and where. At the very least you could get some great conversation Edited February 26, 2021 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
