Rick,
     I did not realize that you wrote Temple of ROM... Nice job.
I still love the Atari ADVENTURE game to this day... still have my
Atari 2600 hooked up, in fact.  (Soon it will be replaced by a Sega
Genesis, though.)
     It's wierd, but when you're developing stuff on a cassette based
system, you don't really mind or think about what a pain it is if you
have not yet been spoiled by a disk system.  I know I used to write
lots of stuff while I was learning how to program on tape systems for
years and wondered why everyone shuddered when I mentioned I only had a
tape drive... after I got a disk drive, though, I wondered how I lived
before!  Same thing when I had my MM/1 but no hard drive for about a year.
Since I never had a HD before, I really didn't mind waiting... now there's
no way I could live without my HD!  :)
