OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes Ball Blazer......yes I had that on my old Atari-800.
(forgot! - how could I!?). Very "ahead of it time" being 3-d and all.

I have an Apple-2 port and the Atari rom for it. They run on my Athlon too
;-).


"AppleWin" is a very nice emulator - i've had no problems runing those fine
retro games on my winchip nor my Athlon system.


OMG how cold i have forgotten about
BallBlazer............sorry....................that was a cool game. 3-D,
split screen with the "goalee-pst and the checkered field............truely
revolutionary game.

An unjust king asked a devotee what kind of worship is best? He replied:
'For thee the best is to sleep one half of the day so as not to injure the
people for a while.'

I saw a tyrant sleeping half the day.
I said: 'This confusion, if sleep removes it, so much the better;
But he whose sleep is better than his wakefulness
Is better dead than leading such a bad life.'
