Tinkering with Excel VBA versions of old Antic programs.
Someday would like to mod Micro League 8-bit for Excel sans graphics.

I figured operator error on my part. I have Altirra 1.7 with PAL Artifacting activated at boot. At least these games do work, so I should be able to figure out the kinks in my set-up. Thanks much. By the way, is there a better place to post Atari 8-bit emulator questions? the Emulator-specific forum seems to have more posts not pertaining to 8-bit machines. 8-bit emulator is currently my only way to go. The family 800XL has been shelved a few years ago with keyboard issues and a failing (1050??) disk drive.

I know it is probably user error in this case... I have had trouble with Combat Leader and MicroLeague Baseball. Pretty sure both were downloaded from Atarimania (Microleague for sure). Attempting to run on Altirra. Baseball hangs with a b/w picture of the field and Combat Leader has a garbled screen, not able to decipher the splash screen or field of play. Of course, I am probably posting this in an inappropriate thread. Any thoughts?

Does anyone still type in game programs from magazines?

Spent plenty of time keying in games like Safe Cracker by hand, even took a stab at player missile graphics at one point. I still use the old Football Predictor program from ANTIC Oct 87-ish as a base for a current Excel file. As a matter of fact, I made an attempt to port Entrepreneur Jungle to MS Excel as well as MicroLeague Baseball (Text only of course). Time constraints... Not 1987 anymore.
