I've attached a disk with the two programs. Checked both with BUGOUT.
SPLAINS.BAS takes about a minute to initialise and is a 2 player only game.
You'll need to read the magazine article to learn how to play.
SPLAINS.ATR
Little late to the party.
Attached disk has disassembler (modified for enhanced density disks) as well as COMPUTE! proofreaders and other programs.
Just change sector numbers from 1023/1024 to 719/720 to get back to original disassembler listing.

Just noticed some lines in the pdf attachment have been truncated.
I used the Analog magazine G: device, FujiNet-PC and Altirra 4.10 to generate that listing.
Attached is Page 6 magazine Special Disk 56 (Fontmaster) that produces
a non-truncated output, again using FujiNet-PC and Altirra.
The resulting pdf file is 4MB in size so I won't attach it unless requested.

I've attached a PDF ATASCII listing of the modified 600xl cassette spreadsheet.
If you change the "C" to "D" in lines 308 and 322 you get the original disk-based spreadsheet.
With the 600xl you can get a maximum of 4 columns by 18 rows.
Text is entered by preceding cell entries with a quote character (").
When loading or saving, at the prompt (?) enter "C:" in the modified program.

You could try these tapes in an Atari 600xl emulator.
Odd characters in HC4 listing are inverse and control key entries.

Zybex, original version, on cassette, 1988, Zeppelin Software, fantastic game.
Merry Xmas, fellow Atari 8 biters, a present from the antipodes.

Just found this Atari 8 bit archive on a pcworlddotcodotnz DVD from Dec2006/ Jan2007, 20th Anniversary Atari special.
May contain files relevant to this topic but will be of interest to other Atari 8 bit diehards.
Microsoft users should have latest virus software engaged, not a problem for Linux users.

A correct, coherent, recent rendition of the Atari 8 bit GameBase project would be appreciated by Atari 8-biters worldwide.
I wish you well in your future endeavours and thank you for your service.
