- Actually it's just 'Nine Lives' - the top cat's bit is the high-score
- table 8-)
-
- It's a very nice little game that, and apparently was mistakenly released
- into the PD. But, the version I have has walls all around the current area,
- and once you've rescued 2-cats (or is it 1??) You are stuck!
-
- Atari threw a tantrum, and de-released this, as well as NEO-Chrome, and
- a lot of other software, which was claimed as PD. (Although, NEO-Chrome
- at that stage had been available for at *least* 2-years in the Public
- Domain).
-
- ARC is actually Atari's own Label, I presume ARC stands for Atari something
- or other!
