While we are on games. I used to have a game called "Submarine Command". It
  was made for the
Atari 2600. 
I had an Atari 800XL computer which also had slot for games etc... My cartige
had problems.

I've looked all over the internet for this game for the PC. A lot of sites talk
all around it
but I can't find anywhere to download it. Free or otherwise.
