Looking for game: Smush?

I'm looking for a game that I once saw. I think it was "Smush," but I'm not sure. I also think it may have been a pre-release, and it might never have been sold. My memory of the game is that the screen was platforms and ladders (all platforms went all the way across), and you were hanging from the ...

1400XL sold

Someone just sold a 1400XL on Ebay.

Sadly, my bid of under $100 didn't quite make it. Final price: $3090.00!

Tangentially-related:

Is this available for download somewhere? I don't see it here. I have a hacked up version of an in-store demo that changed it to be rather crude, but I haven't found the original. I remember seeing it running on the computers in the store when we bought my Atari 800.

Yes, I know that I can find many of the classic games in Java or Flash, but they're all new implementations. That's not the same as playing the original versions using an emulator.

Emulator in Flash or Java?

Now that it's not unusual for people to have 2GHz processors, how unreasonable would it be to port an emulator to Flash or Java to allow any classic Atari game to be embedded on a web page? (Imagine this site if instead of just downloading games, you could play them directly!) Obviously, you would h...

I've noticed a number of messed-up screen shots, including Ultima games, and they're because of emulation. I think that those games used artifacting to get more colors than you would normally be able to get at once. Unfortunately, whoever took the screen shots didn't run the emulator with artifactin...

I found an online manual. http://project64.c64.org/games/m-z/Temple%20of%20Apshai%20Trilogy.txt The room descriptions skip 36 and 37 for level 4 of the Curse of Ra, but there is a treasure 10 that I still haven't found. In my various seraching around, it seems that the Amiga version had the room des...

Temple of Apshai Trilogy

I've been playing the Temple of Apshai Trilogy. I still have my original copy of Temple of Apshai, and the Trilogy release fixes one of my biggest complaints--you had to add up the value of your treasure by hand when leaving the dunjon. It still doesn't include the room or treasure descriptions, whi...

"Disk" 4.0 released: Sector Editor and much more

I wrote most of this back in the 80s, but recently have added new features. It started as a BASIC sector editor, but slower portions were re-written in assembly and new features were added (trace the DOS file chain, tachometer, create autorun.sys, etc.). It's now available on my Atari 8-bit Utilitie...

1400XL/1450XLD roms

I'm interested in seeing the roms from the unreleased 1400XL and 1450XLD. The roms for the built-in PBI devices would be particularly interesting. (I still think they were nuts for not releasing them, or at least repackaging the extra devices as PBI periphrials for the 800XL.) And did they have a DO...
