Can anyone comment on the following games? I've heard that they're available from "B & C Computervisions", and I'm thinking about picking up a copy or two:

- Tower Toppler

-Xenophobe

-Dark Chambers

In addition, can anyone tell me if any XL/XE cartridges were produced by Atari or another 3rd party vendor in the '90s? (not "pirated" versions of vapourware)

Dark Chambers was a released game and you should be able to pick it up on ebay or from another collector.

Tower Toppler was an unreleased prototype that B&C may be still selling reproductions of, I haven't played it but I've heard that it's only in monochrome.

I don't believe a prototype of Xenophobe has surfaced yet. I could be wrong though.

If you have Dandy then dont worry about Dark Chambers ;)

Xenphobe was listed a long time ago and they suddenly stopped listing it - If its back up and for sale I would prob want to pick up a copy also (I got Stargate a few years back ;) )

Tower Toppler is fu non the 7800 so I prob wouldnt invest too much in an XE version.
