I was 8 years old when my dad surprised us with an Atari 520 ST for Christmas. My family huddled around the tiny computer monitor and collaboratively played King's Quest II together. We had multiple games, and those adventure style games really captured my imagination. I even tried to play the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure game... but that proved a bit too abstract for my 8-9 year old brain to handle. Then my dad brought SUNDOG home and I loved the idea of adventuring around the galaxy, fighting off pirates and street muggers! I was still too young to understand the complexities of trading stocks and providing supplies to colonies. But I had a lot of fun! Unbeknownst to me at the time my dad's secret plan was to mold me into a programer. He handed me copies Compute magazine and told me that if I copied those words and numbers into Atari ST Basic, I would have created a game that I could play! Well, his plan worked and I became a website developer! Anyway, I would love a chance to help provide feedback on the BETA. Brian Hanifin

Brian,
Funny, that's how it was for me, too. For over a year in my youth I played that game with no real concept of what the objective was, except that it didn't matter, I had loads if fun flying around and fighting pirates and muggers and trying to buy random stuff in bars.

Anyway, stay tuned here! We will need beta testers soon!
