Multi-Sound Sythesizer by Broderbund
Vapor? Tape? Seen in ad, 7/83 Compute's Gazette
Shark Trap by Broderbund
Tape only? Seen in ad, 7/83 Compute's Gazette
Stargate by Atarisoft
Now this one is interesting! Is it vaporware, or just very rare? Small section
of 1-page B/W ad for "the Program Store" says "Vic20 or C64 ROM cartridge
$49.95 Only 20 of each available - get yours now!" Page101, Nov83 Compute's
Gazette. (But says 30 each of Donkey Kong, Dig Dug; 20 *they* had?) Also 2-page
ads by Atarisoft say it exists for Vic20 and for the C64 as well. I've never
seen either, so?

these.)

Crater Raider by Boone
Vapor? Tape? Seen: Nice one-page ads, Oct & Nov 83 Compute's Gazette. Seen also
in small text ad, page 288 Oct83 Compute!, for $26.95
Cyclon by Boone
Vapor? Tape only? Seen: one-page ads, Oct & Nov 83 Compute's Gazette. Seen also
in small text ad, page 288 Oct83 Compute!, for $26.95 It did make it as far as
tape for sure; I own one. It was put out by "Softsmith Software, a product of
the software guild" it says on the cassette's actual label. I think they
probably tried to put it out on their own, but couldn't, and ended up either
selling the rights off or going to a cassette publisher to do it for them. Just
a guess.
Panic Button by First Star Software
Vapor? Actually reviewed, so likely real. See May 84 "Compute!"
