Hi there, thank you for your assistance with this, giving Atarigrub some pointers has helped out a lot! I appreciate your time and effort!

Hi Atarigrub! Thank you so very much for that. It was really kind of you to take the time out to do that for me. Much appreciated, and if I can return the favour for you then please do message me and I will see what I can do. Thanks again!

That would be awesome thank you, any help is appreciated. Just let me know how we can sort it out and if there is anything I can do for you in return?

Hi there, yes please Atarigrub, any help would be great thank you. If I can find a way to convert from cas file to xex I could even play it on my side loader in my 800xl. Thanks to all replies so far. I know it's not exactly a well known game nor is it up there with Dropzone etc but I enjoyed it back in the day nonetheless.

Hi All, Just wondered if anybody had a copy of this game they would be willing to sell? I would be very grateful if so. Please get back to me if you can help out with this. Much appreciated! Cheers Everybody and may 2018 bring you many hours of retro gaming fun!

Hiya, Blimey! I really must check my responses a bit quicker! so a very belated thank you anyway! The game title was definitely Conquering Everest, however after looking at the PDF file of the game you suggested it does sound very much like the same game. Although the logo looks entirely different I must say. I can't find any info online about ASP software, apart from I believe they are from the UK and mainly wrote early RPGs.

Hi all, I'm a big Atari fan and love my A8 and ST, and have had the same 2600 for 34 years now, however I could do with a little help with something more modern. I got a modded old school original Xbox for Xmas with lots of cool emulators running on unleash. However i would love to know where to get Atarixlbox and how to get it up and running on the Xbox, just for fun! I have a little experience with running emulators on pc but not done anything with Xbox as yet. I've heard of FTPing but no idea how to do it, so if possible I'd like to try and burn a dvdr instead and transfer it to my Xbox. I know this is a big ask guys but I'd really appreciate your help if anybody is kind enough to reply and get me started! Cheers all!

Yes, apparently its very rare. I believe it was a tape only game, written in BASIC too I think. Its basically a strategy game where you manage a team to try and get to the summit of Everest. It's probably not as good as I remember - after all its not exactly Dropzone or something like that but if I can find it that would be cool.

Hi all!, hope you are all keeping ok and still enjoying the A8 scene. I am coming here cap-in-hand to be honest, in need of a bit of help. I'm chasing after a game for Atari 8 bit called "Conquering Everest" , which I think is by Asp software. I cant find the title for sale anywhere (tried Evilbay etc), so I wondered if anybody has an .XEX file of it I can use on my side 2 cartridge and load it up that way. I know its not the world's most exciting Atari title but i did used to have it many moons ago and would love to play it again on my Atari. Thanks in advance for any help received.

wow, thanks a lot for the feedback guys! certainly gave me plenty of options to consider, which is just as well as I have nearly completed the room now - so should have new carpet in next week and ready to get the Atari "shrine" set up again! Really do appreciate your help guys. Well done everyone! - but yes - I think its time we built up a database (or at least a large list!) of tv's which work and which Atari's etc have been used on them - def one for a stcky post I reckon! Cheers all!

Hi guys! sorry I have been away for so long. Been moving house etc, and my Atari collection has been in boxes at my parents house. But all that is set to change soon as I tackle the decorating in my "Atari" room! The problem is I want to use a modern lcd tv on which to run my Atari's - So I can hang it on the wall out of the way. I own a Sony Bravia 26" in the living room - this tv is having NONE of it! - However I remember trying them out on a crappy NEON 19" tv I bought from Morrissons a while back and they worked fine. That tv is used in my main bedroom though - so I need a tv of approx 26 - 32" of size for the aforementioned "Atari room", have you guys got any suggestions as to what definately works? If it helps - I own the following - Atari 800xl (with ram upgrade - cheers "mimo") - running a monitor to scart connection Atari 2600 running standard RF (may convert soon) Atari Jaguar running standard RF - till I can afford a scart cable! Atari ST running scart cable Maybe we should start a definitive list of modern tv's (inc model numbers etc) which people own that can cope with old computer signals! - I heard Samsung's were normally good for this kind of thing? Apologies if I am going over old ground here guys (maybe the powers that be will let us post a sticky?) Cheers Atarians!

lol - the XL has Mikes name on it - but dont worry - ya not missing a great deal - its not exactly a boxed minter! more a poorly donor!

ps - that last message may read a little wrong - in a hurry to do tea and trying not to burn the kitchen down! lol! - the XL is for free obviously - just need to do a deal on the old woody

cool mate - no worries Mike! - the XL has your name on it no probs - ya can buy the woody too if ya want it - dunno what its worth to a fellow Atarian though! Maybe we could do a trade on summat? WHY?

I'd love one myself - White or black would be cool - think I'd go with black with blue backlighting though. Would be good if it was backwards ST compatible though - it'd have to have TOS as at least a secondary OS (is that even possible!) - hate to think of it as just another Bill Gates special! - then again, maybe that could be a way for Atari to fight its way back to the front of the mainstream and reign supreme again! Nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy eh! I def think that if somebody has got the technical know how they should at least build a few of these so-called "ST-2"'s and maybe auction them off - for charity maybe? Get Atariage put permanently on the map!
