   As I noted before, Gauntlet is based on a game for the 800 series
Ataris called "DANDY".  Great game, even more so since you could build
your own levels!  Anyhow, the Atari that makes the 520ST is NOT the
same as the Atari that makes arcade games.  Witness Marble Madness,
which will be released first for the Amiga - Atari's not even involved.
   Back to DANDY - I think this game is good enough to justify the
purchase of an Atari 800 by itself - 'specially since they are only
$50 or so on the surplus market!
