Ok, let's talk about games.  I have lots of games and I want more.  And
some of those new XE games look pretty good.  But I have a 48K 800.  Will
they work, he wonders?

I wish Atari would say but they only mention XE and XL systems on the
boxes.

Here's what I've heard:

   Rumor 1:  "None of the blue box games will play on old Ataris."  --
      Kaybee Toys salesperson.

   Rumor 2:  "Everyone we've tried has worked except for 'One on One'".
      -- B&C ComputerVision salesperson.

Here's what I know:

  XE Cartridge		800/48K		400/16K

  BattleZone  		Yes		No
  Rescue on Fractalus!	Yes		No
  Flight Simulator II	No		No

Anyone know or care?
