They're two completely different games: http://atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?SOFT_LI...;btn_sauver.y=0 I thought 'Gunpowder Charlie' was quite a fun little game. Could have done with a few more screens though.

I converted a game from the Spectrum Quill to Atari by simply listing all the instructions and re-entering them into AdventureWriter. Boring and extremely time consuming! As has been said the fact that the Spectrum had around 8k more of space to play with is a problem when converting adventures. I ran out of memory when trying to convert an Atlantis tape release called 'Marie Celeste' (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0006656) and it was hardly Level 9 or Infocom quality. I'd be interested to see anything that comes from converting these adventures over to the Atari. Maybe it'd be best to take a look at some of the earlier Quilled efforts like 'The Adventures of Barsak the Dwarf' (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005927) as they may not have utilised the full memory like later efforts surely would.

I used to go to Atari World in Manchester where I were a lad! Was probably the only place I knew of that stocked quite a lot of Atari software and not just the odd budget tape.

Crystal Raider, Swat, Crack-Up, Hover Bover (?), Colony, Gridrunner. I can't remember any more.

I used to modify some Atari games so they saved the high scores and they're mostly on the AURA menus over at Mr.Bacardi's site: http://mrbacardi.atari.org The games with high scores are the ones with 'plus' after the title (eg: Tiger Attack Plus). They're spread out over the disks a bit but there is a fair few there. I still have a disk with 4 games on (Dreadnought, Montezuma's Revenge [i didn't know you couldn't complete it at the time!], Whomper Stomper and Knock!) that were never put on an AURA menu. If anyone's interested in it, and I'm allowed, then I'll put it on here.
