That sounds cool. I look forward to te time you'll be able to devote more time to it. Interestingly enouh though, I found a web site that sells classic video gmes including the old Atari, and I could have sworn I've seen Monte there a few times. I've thought about buying it but as I recall the game didn't feature much audio. I don't know about other folks but I feel the old Atari 2600 had some of the most memorable sound in video gaming history. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 8:24 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
