Yes, that's true. I have come across a nice little gem on a BBS that allows you to edit a Dungeon character...to raise his stats, gold, location, etc. But still you're trapped in the Dungeon. Anyone care to take a crack at writing program to convert a Dungeon character back to a City character (without all your "discoveries" of course, which the City wouldn't recognize anyway)? > I like the Dungeon a LOT, although I wish I had more time to play it.

AR is without a doubt the best game ever made for the Atari 8-bits. Unfortunately, Datasoft was bought out and they have just recently scrapped the Alternate Reality project...for the Atari as well as other machines. I wish they'd reconsider, or that another company would buy the rights to the name... > By the way, in the Dungeon, the Oracle is located directly under the > Floating Gate.
