  I have  seen the demo of Star  Raiders,  and it is  *breathtaking*.  I
didn't  quite  realize how damned good the color screen on this beast is
until I saw that.  The colors  are  fabulous,  the  motion is smooth and
steady,  and the  whole  effect  is  very  impressive.  It  wouldn't  do
anything,  but I  watched  it for  minutes.  Now if only I could  find a
decently priced TV which would accept the Atari RGB color output!
