To be honest I'm not entirely sre of all the games I own for my Atari. It belonged to my sister's x boyfriend and he had a lot of games to begin with. One of my favorite games though, despite its almost total inaccessibility due to a fearful lack of audio, was Adventure. That was basically the anestor of modern RPG's. As I said though, it had very little in the way of audio, although what there was was kinda neat. The dragonfire sound in particular was my favorite. That was actually one of the projects I'd hoped to undertake with the AGM, but the sound issues in the program put a stop to that one fairly quick. If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
