[This is from the DELPHI Atari (8-bit) SIG Forum, posted there by Matt Ratcliff, who writes for ANALOG, Antic, and other magazines:] (Reposted here without permission, but why would Matt mind?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . . . New 8bit games: Crystal Castles 3 stars (out of four) - great for kids, my 4 year old is completely mesmerized at the moment. Into the Eagle's Nest - it is a similar scenario to Gauntlet, but a WWII setting. However the graphics are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and play is FASTER than Gauntlet. For an 8-bit game this baby's VERY IMPRESSIVE. A MUST have for all 8bit gamers. 4 out of 4 stars!

--- Due to the lack of support for Atari 8-bits, I figured I'd pass this info along... Just got a new catalog in the mail from B&C Computervisions (3257 Kifer Road, Santa Clara, CA 95051, 408-749-1003). Aside from their usual LARGE selection of 8-bit software and hardware, they've got about half a dozen NEW commercial games for the atari, including an Aussie Tetris clone, 2 new graphic adventures, and a strategy war game based on the Gulf War (featuring "animated scud attacks").
