Ambush (not Computer Ambush)
Brady Bunch Adventure #1 (a Basic program)
Broadway (a Basic program)
CroMagnon P.I.
Display Maker
Dr. Who
Endless Bugs (a cassette program)
Full Field Soccer
Galactic Gateway
Graphics Work
Jedi (Return of the Jedi?)

Kinks, The
Music Master 4 (yes "4" - a demo)
Oh Damn! (a Basic program - OHDAMN.BAS)
Quester

Thanks!

My "Missing" Atari 8-bit Software and Atari DemoPacs
It has been a while, but I found a few more of my "missing" Atari 8-bit software . . .
CroMagnon P.I., Galactic Getaway, and Rabbit Revolt (along with Shooting Gallery) are sample programs on Side B of The Arcade Machine.
Broadway was a type-in program in a 1983 Softside
Dr Who was an adventure in Computer & Video Games.
I am still "missing" the following. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
Aide 2.0 (utility, loaded via DOS "L", needs MEM.SAVE, runs @ $2888)
Brady Bunch (a US TV Show) Adventure #1 (basic program)
Endess Bugs (a cassette program, probably a Centipede clone)
Full Field Soccer
Graphic Works
Keyfax by Keycom Electronic Publishing, see http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/CARLSON/history/Keycom.htm
On Damn! (basic program)
Pirate's Library (basic program?, needs 130XE?)

I've just found eight (8) old Atari 8-bit Demopacs (from Atari) on programming. They cover the following topics:
1. Strings and Formatting - I've posted this one on Scribd at http://www.scribd.com/doc/31438242/Atar ... Formatting
2. Data File Processing
3. Programming Examples
4. Atari Color Graphics
5. Advanced Graphics
6. Advanced Systems Features
7. Some Special Features
8. Software and Hardware TImers
If anyone is interested in these let me know and I'll scan the rest and put them up on Scribd.
According to
http://books.google.com/books?id=jC4EAA ... ac&f=false
there appears to be other DemoPac, i.e. three on LOGO: #9 a resource guide, #10 a printer pac, and #11 useful programs illustrating list processing.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THESE IF ANYONE HAS THEM !
Thanks!
