It seemed rather obvious to me, on first glance, that Armor Ally WAS a reversion of Rescue Raiders. If you look Closer it becomes more obvious: The authors are none other than Greg Hale and Arthor Britto II. (hi, Greg.. met you at BMUG a couple years ago :) As for the game list.. you forgot Marios Bros. and Joust for the Apple II! They were great. If you are an Apple IIe nut but have a Mac (II preferibly) you should get "II in a Mac" (software) or the Apple //e emulation card from apple, which is only about $200. Both of those should let you play your favorite Apple II games on your Mac, though I would guess that only the card will use color. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jamal Hannah | Internet: jhannah@netcom.com | | | UUCP: ..!apple!netcom!jhannah | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
