About a month ago, I made a commitment to develop an Atari video game themed puzzle contest and have it ready for posting on the AtariAge Web site by Christmastime this year. Well, I had a pretty good idea to start with and I ran with it. The contest I promised by December is finished, tested, and ready right NOW.

To give everyone who wants to participate in my new contest a chance to start at the same time as everybody else, I'm posting this "Heads Up" message to let everyone know the contest is coming. The contest and its details will be posted in the "Contests" forum exactly one week from today. Mark your calenders. Tell your friends!

For those of you who participated in the "Pitfall Harry's Mystery of the Map" contest I posted here years before (Wow! Has it really been seven years?), my new contest is equally as mysterious and just as challenging. Yet, from the moment you see it, you will know the the game has radically changed.

That's all I have to say about it until next Friday. Be sure to check the "Contests" forum on Friday, 9/11 for the posted Contest, rules, hints, etc.

You're in luck, then, because this contest is just getting started. If you wish to participate in it, you're getting in pretty close to the ground floor. Nobody has made any significant progress towards solving it yet, as far as I know.
