Also made Escape from Arcturus, Dungeon Campaign, Wilderness Campaign and many other games from this early era. Odyssey was available first in Integer BASIC and a couple of years later in Applesoft. I also recall a later, mid-1980's adventure game from Synergistic with much better performance than their earlier works. Sorry I can't recall the name, but the title page had lava spurting lazily from an erupting volcano. I've never heard of Synergistic making Odyssey public domain. I would tend to doubt that Odyssey is public domain. I suggest that you try and find a used copy. The most recent mention I've heard of Synergistic still existing was in the credits to the Amiga game Sidewinder. Two or three years ago, I think. Me, I still want to know what happened to Nasir Gebelli who wrote many of the classic Sirius Software and Gebelli Software titles (Gorgon, Star Cruiser, Horizon V, Eggs-It!, Russki Duck etc). Nothing like a little history to brighten your day, eh? Still playing Threshold after all this time... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dwight A Lee / lee@chsun1.uchicago.edu / Am I the only net.user in DeKalb? 416 Annie Glidden Rd #B6 / "I am not the only dust my mother raised" - TMBG DeKalb IL 60115 / 815-758-1389 / I speak only for myself. / tCS/BB / Font
