I did a quick search on Yahoo. Here's a German site: http://www.atari-spielanleitungen.de/anleitungen.html They are .zip files of scans of the instructions, but only the pages in German.

I tried a search on several search engines and found only these sites: This site has the instructions: http://www.ozyr.com/o2/o2quest.html This one is the instructions, with the pictures from the book. Click on the "rules/questfortherings/index.htm" thing at the bottom of page: http://www.aardwolfgames.com/aardmakehtml....000&src=DETAILS The "Game Components" page has VERY SMALL pictures of the overlay and board. When I had the game, I didn't have the overlay. So I had to look at the picture in the book and sort of eyeball what button on the keyboard was used.

April 5, 1981. My mom got an Atari for her birthday and the game Poker Plus. Video gaming didn't last long with her, but it's been with me ever since.

I used to have that game, but got rid of it in '88. It's a good game. If somebody does make a 2600 Quest for the Rings they should try to use the Keyboard (video touch pad)/Joystick combonation, like they did on Star Raiders.

The challenge in the games have changed. Today's games I can get through in 2 to 3 weeks, first time around, and then in just a few days the next time around. But not Atari. I keep playing them over and over and I just try to get a better score, or a better strategy to get past something. That makes me want to play those games more often. Graphics and music don't matter to me. If it isn't challening enough, I won't play it for a long time. The challenge in the old systems' games was a lot better than most games today.

Played the new version. Music sounds good.

I would have less than the money I spent on some of my systems. My N64, for example, I have bought when it first came out for $200. I have spent at least $700 for the games, when they first came out. Now the local paper's classified ads have N64s with the same amount of games for about 1/16th of the amount I spent. Ebay, I would probably get almost 1/2 the money I spent, if i'm lucky. My Atari 2600 and its games, and my Atari 800XL I could get lots of cash for, since I spent only about $25 for all of it. But after selling my Atari 7800 and over 2 dozen games at a garage sale back in 1992, and finding about AtariAge and this whole "retrogaming" scene back in '01, I was stupid to do that. I'm NOT getting rid of my games again

I choose Mortal Kombat as well. That game series had better endings. The versions of Double Dragon I played (Game Boy & SMS) just had a simple picture with "The End" on it.

I looked at it just now. The rarest games I could see on the list are: Blockbuster World Video Game Championship II Tournament cartridge rarity R9 The Miracle Piano Teaching System rarity R8

Does the list at Digital Press help? http://www.digitpress.com/lists.htm

My mom & dad played Circus Atari a lot in the early 80's. Every time they saw the guy miss the platform and hit the ground, head first, they start laughing their heads off.

Nintendo's online store has them for $12. http://store.nintendo.com

Here's a couple games:

Not much around here where I live. In the past couple of years, the only stuff I have seen are in these three places: Salvation Army thrift shop: 1 Genesis cart Clevenger's (sort of a thrift shop/2nd hand store): 2 Atari 2600 carts (just Combat and Football) A case with about 15 to 20 TI 99/4a carts An original Intellivision(no RF hookup cable) 6 Intellivision carts 1 Commodore 64 cart 1 Atari 8-bit computer cart A Commodore Vic 20 (no power supply or hookup cables) Several pong machines (no power suply on most) The local used game store, Game Dawgz, has some Genesis, SNES, and NES carts, but usually just carries used games for the newer systems (N64, Playstation, PS2, XBox). There was a pawn shop right next to the Salvation Army thrift shop, it was the best place to get Atari 2600 and 5200 carts (I bought 14 2600 carts there for $1.25 each! ). But in mid 2001, the shop closed, and the building was turned into a parking lot. Now my only good places to get old games is at garage sales. I found a lot of good stuff for cheap in the past few years (Atari 2600 with cables, joysticks, paddles, and 9 games for $5, 9 Genesis carts for $1 each with a Genesis system included for free, Sega Game Gear for 75 cents, NES with Zapper gun and controllers for $1 , and a few power supply things that can be used with the systems I just mentioned.) and a few sales with prices too high that I just pass on (One sale had a Sega Game Gear with power supply, case, and two games for $135 ! Not lying about that!). But lately, i'm not seeing much.

I have downloaded and played the new Fu Kung! demo Andrew Davie posted and I was thinking. Somebody could hack into the game, when it's done, and put in different characters in it. Such as: Godzilla vs. any other monster from the Godzilla movies! Characters from Dragon Ball Z! Chracters from Pokemon! Or just a version that has those dancing babies! I'm not going to make the hack because Andrew might not like someone hacking into the game so soon, and I don't have the skills to make any kind of hack. And I don't think anybody elese will do such a thing anytime soon. But after playing the newest demo, it got me thinking about the hack idea.

Well I just spent the last 6 hours typing the whole thing in. Every line, 2 or three numbers at a time on the DATA lines, and checking every few numbers that I typed to check if I got them right. After all that all I got was this: The screen changes color. Starts to draw Alfred's face , mostly his right ear and eyebrow. Then it stops, and shows: ERROR- 8 AT LINE 40 The morals for me: 1.Forget typing in this thing again. 2.Don't waste 6 hours typing in a program that shows just some guy's face, and you don't have anything to save it on. 3.Find a better way to waste 6 hours!

I was looking through my collection of issues of Mad Magazine last night, and I came across issue 258 (October 1985), the one with Alfred E. Neuman's head shoved into the disk drive of a computer. This issue had "The Mad computer program" in it. It was a program you could type in and create your own Mad logo and Alfred E. Neuman face. It had instructions for Atari computers, as well as Apple, Commodore, and IBM. I tried typing it in on an Atari 800XL, but all I got was a different screen color, a few lines, and a message that said "error in line 40" or something like that. Must have typed it in wrong somewhere. Does anybody remember this program? Have you ever got it to work right (Mad Magazine logo and Alfred E. Neuman's face)?

If this sounds like whining, never mind. Is there a list of Atari 2600/5200/7800/Lynx/Jaguar ROMs that are legal to download and play on an emulator? I like emulation. There are not many thrift shops or second-hand stores where I live that carry carts for the Atari systems, they usually carry NES, N64, or Playstation titles. Same thing goes for most of the garage/yard sales around here, too. Most of them sell the games for way too much the usual price you would pay for them at garage/yard sales. But i'm just not sure about downloading some of the roms. So is there a list of ROMs for the Atari systems that the creators of the games said it's legal to download them?
