There were some arcade Qix posters/flyers printed with the explicit instruction to pronounce it as "kicks".

I'd like to see Atari Bubble Bobble released by Cronosoft... Perhaps a legal problem, though, due to the licence.

Your game got mentioned in issue 8 of Retro Gamer magazine - nice.

I'm not with you. Get a metal sheet, but cut 'them' up - cut what up? to fit over the original port - eh? I'm not trying to be funny but can you draw it or something? Thanks.

My poor boy's camera will not show detail like this. Perhaps someone else has such a stick? All it is is four little blocks on the inside of the casing.

That's nearly a good suggestion :-) ... I just don't have the facility.

Can anyone help me with this? (Sorry, hardware forum looked to full of Atari.) Open up an official Sega Saturn joystick - you know, one of those big black Virtua Sticks - and you'll see it has 'guiders' on the inside, where the bottom of the stick is, to help you to hit the diagonals. Sega's 3-button MegaDrive stick also has these inside it but they are squatter. The Saturn stick's guiders are much thinner, and I just had one break on me. Trying to play a Street Fighter game or anything similar is now impossible! How would I repair it, and how would I strengthen the other guiders, on both that stick and my other joystick to make them stronger so that they (hopefully) never break? I'd appreciate any tips! Thank you. (For the repair, No More Nails did not really help - there is not enough surface area to reconnect the piece sturdily.)

Just beenplaying on the C64 version and it is awful because the game is so incredibly slow. Won't an Atari XL/XE suffer too?

Follow-up to Lords Of Midnight, yes. Also: Multi format, but wait a minute! I know about games that had standardised sections of their instructions... I have - among others - Road Blasters, published by US Gold, for the C64. With it came a separate sheet, not attached to the inlay, for loading instructions for C64, CPC, Spectrum, Atari and MSX. However, there is no US Gold Road Blasters for Atari or MSX - this was just a sheet that the publisher put in with a number of its games to save hassle. While Doomdark's booklet is multi-format: C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Atari, it contains details specific to each version, such as keys for movement. It's when I see things like: "...to look at the map, press F1 (Atari version: press Option)...", I suspect there was a version written, as why else would they be mentioning details? The sheet with Road Blasters contains no information whatsoever apart from press Shift & Run/Stop; hold Start & Option, etc and thus can't be trusted, because that info would have been the same regardless of what the game was.

I've got the instruction booklet for an Atari 800/XL game: Doomdark's Revenge. However, while I have the C64 version of this game, I've never seen or even read about the Atari version. Even atarimania doesn't list it. Was it released in any country at all? Thanks!

Now over US$10,000 but look at some of the bidders' names. ieatcoughdrops and ibuycoughdrops ? Hmmm. May make no difference - I suppose it'll get pulled anyway.

EBay must have removed that feedback, even though he didn't type out the swearing words in full...
