No keyboard, I have the XEGS version. The problem is that I think it needs 64k RAM.

Oh, so the only way to play it may be on an Atari computer or through emulation.

Or get a XEGS and an Atari Max flash cartridge like meÂ :4:

Is that Atari Max Flash Cart a multicart or one where you copy the game ROMs to?

One that you copy your own ROMs onto and can organise into libraries and everything:

Very smart bit of kit!

Cool!Â That's from the same folks who make the 5200 Multicart.

Did you notice that quite a few of those were taken from Jaguar CD games?

I was playing Mirax Force by Tynesoft the other day, a really nice rip-off of Uridium but absolutely rock hard!

What impressed me the most about it though was the terrific speech:

Some pretty good animations in there

It's been some years now since I fired up my 130XE though I always admired the skills of those making demos. The polish are particularly good. Nice find Laird, thanks for sharing.
