This is a friend of dsaker.

Greetings from Australia, fellow Atari users. Yes, the Atari has a strong 
following Down Under. I am a member of ACTARI, the users group based in
Canberra (the capital, for those that don't know). 

Archon II???? Tell me more! 
Where can I get Excalibur by Chris Crawford? I've tried half a dozen stores
for it. 
Is it true Atari sacked Chris Crawford? For those interested McGraw-Hill
have recently published a book by him called (I think) "The Art of 
Computer Game Design". If you like his work you'll like this book.
You may have guessed that getting software for the Atari can be a problem so 
far from the source, so while I am here (on holiday) I'm getting as much as 
I can.
My favourite arcade game of the hour is "Discs of Tron".Is there an Atari
version? 
Please send replies via dsaker.
