I was just reading the Infocom Fact Sheet FAQ (http://www.ifarchive.../fact-sheet.txt) and I noticed two odd games attributed to Brian Moriarty:

Borrowing Money <+ T.Hudson> (Atari) #1983
Saving Money <+ T.Hudson> (Atari) #1983


I knew those "games" sounded familar, so I consulted my unreleased game list:

Borrowing Money - RX8065 (unreleased)
Saving Money - RX8066 (unreleased)


Interesting, no? Brian Moriarty was always my favorite Implementor, but I never knew he did any work for Atari.

(Yes, I see the date of the original post).

Prior to working for Infocom, Brian Moriarty was with ANANLOG magazine, and wrote numerous pieces of software for the magazine - in fact, he worked there with Tom Hudson.

Tempest, you should ask Tom about these. He just posted here a couple of weeks ago.
