1. Not all 400/800 software will run on it!  I'm not sure, because I never
owned one, but I think the 1200XL (minus function keys) is really just an
800XL or 130XE etc without the extra RAM to load in a new operating system:
hence, you cannot use a translator.  I hope this has been of help.  If I'm
wrong, I'd be interested to know.  The upshot of this is is that you should
be able to run ALL (I think--using the above knowledge) XE game carts, but
only MOST 400/800 carts.

2. Mountain King was released for the Atari; I liked the game but don't
have it anymore....
