Wow, that's incredible.

You mean my favourite Atari XL game could have looked like that instead of like this, had the dev team just spent 35 more years on optimization?

@VinsCool could have made a far better soundtrack :3
I doubt it, but coincidentally, I was actually credited for the in-game BGM of this Tetris Attack clone, which was also released during the Lost Party 2023 :D

I wonder if the Atari can run anything else than E.T. or DOOM for that matter. :unsure:

Still, a very impressive port. :D

Is that why you was born a cacodemon?

    Insurance is one those things you pay all your life for, no questions asked, all is fine, they take your money. And as soon as you make a claim or something happens, they never want to payout or help, just fight you on everything if it cost them any of your money.
