Very Computer

Atari Gaming Enthusiasts,

I recently filled in most of the gaps in my ANALOG magazine collection,
and as a result, I am in the position of offering an index of all those
great issues.  Here is the first part, which includes only games.
But then again, all I want to know about are the games.  Now I need
only to track down as many of these great games as I can.  I will probably
produce some more indices over time, especially if given some encouragement.

Any glaring (or even minor) errors please point out to me in an email
message or a followup post.

Ah, the memories.  I played most of these games at one time or the other.
I still have a lot of them  on disks, but I don't have an Atari computer
out right now that I could use to go through my lists.  I have a lot of
disks that I got with the magazines (particularly ANTIC) or from a guy
that had a subscription service.  He used to type in all the programs
from Antic, Analog and Compute and sell the disk on a subscription basis.
A LOT more work than I was interested in doing.

If you have to type in the programs, pick the best ones.  You can't go
wrong with Tom Hudson's programs (I still remember LiveWire like it was
yesterday) or Dave Plotkin.

You will probably recognize some names that have or still do show up
right here in c.s.a.8bit such as:

Others that I recognized but don't think there were ever on the net.

Good choice.  I have the trilogy, but never finished it.

Kit Kimes                                         Congratulations Bulls!
AT&T Resource Link (under contract to NCR)        What a 3Peat!
Naperville, IL                                    Thanks for a great year.

What about ANALOG's vaporware games?  For a while they were running
pictures beneath the advertisers index with the caption "Coming Soon
in ANALOG Computing."  I remember a fancy ICBM game played on a map
of the United States, HChess by Tom Hudson, and Tachyon by Brian
Moriarity.  This last one looked like a clone of the coin-op Quantum.
As far as I know, none of these games were ever published.
