Re: Penguins

Do some searching on Emulators. Since the old ataris aren't really made
anymore, no one gives a hoot about any remaining copyrights, and I believe
that if no one has been producing things at all for 5 years, rights pretty
much drop until the copyright holder makes things, at which time the full
rights are immediatly restored. Anyway, if you have anything near a
semi-powerful PC (486 dx/2 will do fine) you should be able to grab loads
of stuff for the atari, and run it all on your very own pc. if you have
one, that is.
same for the C64, various arcade consoles (The ones that werk with
coins..), and all that. I use it frequently if I want to see how the
original game looked like. I have seen references to nintendo and even
Super nintendo, but seeing as they still have the full copyright hoolah,
and since i'd never be able to try and even get close to porting that
around, never really checked those out. flea market? naaah!
