    All the programs are in the queue and will be added shortly. I hope contributors like @wesmond or @NuY don't feel like they worked hard for nothing, that's clearly not the case and we're not forgetting you. There's a LOT of stuff to go through in all areas and it takes time. Also, we don't always run a schedule of things to do so some updates may take longer than expected, though I understand several years is a long time!  

     

    Thank you!

    Can we not just have a current snapshot, literally just zip up all the files now, and then later release another archive every quarter or half year?

     

    Sorry but I know this wouldn't be a good idea right now.

    The problem is that there are still way too many pages / files that need to be updated. Some games date back to when we started the site and they need to be replaced with better versions. There are gradual changes being made but this takes a lot of time. Really, it would be a disservice to the community to release a half-baked effort on a wide scale right now.

    Are there any other religious-themed programs out there?

     

    Davka released tons of Jewish-themed programs.

     

    Unfortunately, due to the very nature of the software and how wrong it was considered to copy stuff in religious circles, I suppose very few titles got spread.

    Hmmm - I remember showing my grandfather a bible on disk.  He passed away in early 1989 and I this was before he had cancer so it would have been 87 at the latest.  I don't know if it was a download or a PD disk I had ordered.  I can look through my old disks and see if I still have it.  The only thing I remember is the screen was darker blue than the standard, and there was a cursive like font.

     

    That would be great!

     

    Computers as Tutors! was a shareware company that produced Christian titles, does that ring a bell?

    Added a small article found in the Detroit Free Press dated December 1982 presenting a tiny software publisher called Ziza Presents, Inc. led by Rev. Will Sayers:

    Unfortunately, it appears Rev. Will Sayers died in 2012 so there is probably nothing left of the company apart from the various ads in Compute! or ANALOG Computing.

     

    If you have any material or disk, even in cracked form, please share it. At least five titles were released:

    This is quite incredible... However crappy the game may be, I'm amazed this is the first copy ever found in almost forty years. I mean, the program sold tons of copies on other platforms so is far from unknown. Maybe it was just test marketed on the Atari with a very small run and then dropped due to poor sales or pre-orders?
