Don't get your hopes up, I talked to the Epyx people at the CES show
and they have no current plans to port these to the Atari. They, like
many others, are taking a "wait and see" attitude. I just got a
retailers information sheet from Epyx and the only new games they show
available for the Atari are the two Lucas games.

Hopefully Atari will be able to convince software developers that the
machine isn't dead and that we users are hungry for new, GOOD,
software.

Has anyone seen Alternate Reality on the shelves yet?
