@EricBall thanks. Yes, iv'e used the old AtariAge email.. Apart from being a balanced game and lot of fun Skeleton+ also uses stereo audio. The research will incorporate audio in two channels into a neural net and we'll measure the differences in performance while using no audio, mono audio and stereo audio on various RL algorithms. I'll DM you once I have some progress done, should be interesting!

Hi @Big Player Thanks for helping. Also not sure if I need or don't, but seems like the right way to go. Also it would be great having the developers see the AI playing their games :)

Hi! I'm a CS masters student currently working on my thesis in reinforcement learning. There's a really cool 2600 game available here called Skeleton+ by Eric Ball (released in 2002). Because of it's game properties Skeleton+ is perfect for my AI research (This research, if successful, might wind up as a small paper in some AI magazine or blog). Legally I can't publish anything using this game without permission from Eric Ball (or from AtariAge?) - but I didn't manage to reach neither via mail. Can anyone help me to reach either Eric or an admin from AtariAge regarding this issue? Thanks :) Nir Weingarten
