MidiMaze 4 LYNX!
Oscar Fowler
can get Midi Maze for the Lynx. Seriously, it is PERFECT for the
Lynx!! And it's a real slap in the face that a game which originally
game out for the Atari ST is available on Nintendo's GAMEBOY and
not Atari's Lynx!! Xanth (the designers of the original game) are
*wanting* to do a Lynx version, but Atari won't give their support!!
Send many, many letters to:
Atari Entertainment
500 Watersedge
Lombard, IL 60148
Thanks for your support!

I sure wouldn't mind. I've already pestered a few Atari execs in person
about this, but as far as I know no action has been taken.

Does anyone have Xanth's snail-mail address and/or phone number? It'd be
_very_ impressive if we could pass that on directly to Atari ("You can reach
them at this number..."). I thought one of the Xanth programmers posted to
rec.games.video once before; do they have an e-mail address too?

It has been suggested many times in the past. The head of Atari's
marketing (at least at the time when I was at Epyx) hated Midi Maze,
and thought that the only games that should be done for the Lynx were
old coin-op retreads. Leonard Tramiel thought that Midi Maze should be
done for the Lynx, but he had no influence over or much contact with
anyone working on Lynx stuff. Epyx even started a Midi Maze-like game,
but Atari didn't want it.
