The same was thought of the Commodore 64 version, too. However, the game was found and released for the C64 last month: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=199870 The picture shows Commodore and Atari versions being on the same disk.

I got the manual now... case closed! :-)

Hello everybody, does anybody have a scan of the instructions manual for the Atari XL/XE computer game "Ted Bear's Rainy Day Games" (1987, Baudville)? http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-rainy-day-games_4279.html Thanks and best regards, Simon

I just remembered this old forum post here, when I saw this video of a C64-Polybius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvlCaKJz35k

Hi Mat, well, there are plans and first developments for two different games, but right now there is a lack of sparetime... I hope to find the time (and motivation) for taking up such a development project soon again. BTW: at the moment I'm still focussing on the rescue of lost C64 games... Later, Simon

>> Any word on the NTSC rom for this game? Sorry for the late answer (I haven't been around here for quite some time). I didn't create an NTSC version of this game so far... and I'm not quite sure if I'll ever have the time and motivation to do so. Please play this game on a PAL-machine/TV or in your favorite emulator instead. Game on! Simon

>> ... I'm not even sure if Vermeer was amongst the select few that ever got an english localization. No, it wasn't officially released as an english version. Until today: VERMEER was finally translated by hobbyists. http://csdb.dk/release/?id=130187

I will be there on saturday and I look forward to this event as I have not been able to visit eurocon for some years...

Thanks for sharing the photos, Mat! It's good to see all you guys once again...

Hi, thanks for sharing some photos of this event. Good to see most of the usual faces being in Hamburg and having much fun there... I really hope to be able to spent a weekend at Eurocon next year again (after missing the last three conventions now)... Later, Simon

Nice game! Good work! Is it possible that there is a bug left in the game? I went to the room with the second gun and shot the aliens in that room. One alien dropped a shield. So the room contained the gun upgrade and the shield. I collected the shield first and... lost a life and was returned to a room before. Best regards, Simon

Hello, I added a small page to my website where you can play an online version of KITE! directly in your browser window (using the emulator JStella). You can either access it through the website of KITE! or call it directly here. Have fun! Simon

Thanks for the pictures, Iwan. Thanks to Ingo for the great meeting. Have a nice day! Simon

Please tell me the exact goal to strive for to reach the sixth game mode. Didn't you order a PAL copy? I think that #51 to #60 were PAL. Only 10 copies... whoa! All the best for 2010! Simon

I received my copy #57 just in time for christmas and am really happy to have one of the ten limited PAL copies. I played it some times and my leveltimes were: Easy 1:07 Cool 2:14 Med. 3:27 Snow 5:20 Hard 7:44 (A) and 7:38 (B) How to reach the sixth gamemode? EASY unlocks COOL, MEDIUM unlocks SNOW, but HARD didn't unlock anything (in both, novice and expert settings). Please let me know what to do to access the sixth gamemode... thanks! Have a good start into 2010! Simon
