Lines: 24 Several years ago, a computer games magazine entitled "Softside" published a listing for a game entitled "Deadstick" which was written in Atari Basic. "Softside" no longer exists, and I would be interested in obtaining a copy of the "Deadstick" listing so that I could translate it from Atari Basic over to a generic Microsoft Basic so it could run on the Mac and the PC. Now I know there are excellent shuttle simulators available ( Orbiter for the Mac, for example) but I would still like to translate "Deadstick" over to my Mac, so that I can learn how one of these simulators is designed. Naturally, once my translation is finished I would make available to any and all gratis. So, if you have a copy of the "Softside" issue containing "Deadstick" I would really appreciate it if you would contact me.
