I hear this a lot with regard to the Adam printer, but I'm skeptical. I went all through middle school and high school and handed in tons of reports to many different teachers over the years and never once had a problem with a teacher not accepting dot-matrix printouts. In high school, I even took a bunch of AP classes that were taught be local college professors, and again no problem with any of them. I used to print my reports using the high-quality-mode that Apple's Imagewriter printers had at our school.

To be honest, my Adam printer produced output that looked like complete crap compared to the Imagewriter. I had one of the early-model Adam printers, and I now realize that the print head wasn't aligned correctly with the platten, and thus only about 2/3 of the daisy-wheel letter would strike the paper. Coleco later produced a sheet that instructed you to take a pliers(!) and twist the print head around until it lined up correctly (I kid you not), but since I had one of the first Adam I never got this sheet with mine. So in my opinion, most of the Adam printers out there are pretty poor quality. Eventually Coleco redesigned the print head and this redesigned model does produce some excellent output, but it was mostly too late by then....

Anyone else notice that the term "holy grail" is actually a very fitting expression now that we have a super-rare biblical Atari 2600 game?

I can certainly understand that Al's very busy. Its just that I just read all 25 pages of the first thread on this that was started in 2007, and as people pointed out even back then there was more evidence to this game than Birthday Mania -- and yet there's a Birthday Mania page here. Seems like the page for this game is about four years overdue.

Anyhow, I'm sure Al will find the time eventually.

Why hasn't this game been added to AtariAge yet? After all, it seems there's no doubt about its authenticity any more....

Thanks. Unfortunately it runs kind of slow for my taste, and I'm not sure what else I can do to speed it up. I've tried a lot of things already, but I feel as if I'm running out of things to try....
