Hey everyone!
I'm working on a strategy game for the Atari 2600 called "Reiki", (which translates to "Empire" in the old Gothic language). It's pretty simple at the moment, text, some simple graphics. Basically, your the leader of a old Germanic tribe and you must trade for goods and keep your cities/empire in line. Every so often other Gothic tribes and even the Romans will attack you. The goal is to survive the longest and get the most wealth possible.

Reiki is also a form of complimentary medicine.

Interesting! - Where does that form of the word come from?

I believe Reiki healing is Japanese in origin.

That definitely sounds like a game niche that has not been exploited on the 2600. Good luck!

That's what I was thinking, I think it'all be fun to write too, since I'm just getting started.
