I'd like to welcome you to the Alternate Reality section . What is Alternate Reality? It is a computer RPG (Role Playing Game) that was originally released on the Atari 8-bit computers. To this day the game Alternate Reality the City and it's sequel Alternate Reality the Dungeon are two of my favorite computer games. That's no mean feat after 25 years of gaming on almost every platform out there. There are already many websites dedicated to the game maintained by fans all around the world. There is also a mailing-list for the fans and several people are developing Alternate Reality utilities, remakes and spinoffs. There's plenty to discover about Alternate Reality whether or not you are new to the series or a seasoned veteran.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I'm seeking to offer Alternate Reality content that the other guys don't have. I've even landed an exclusive software release that will be available here July 1st. Take a look inside to see the latest AR news.
I've been toying with the idea of submitting a new character in the Atari Age Alternate Reality the City contest for quite some time. I've finally made my submission and my entry is in progress. The contest is unofficial and it began a few years ago so my submission is a bit late.
Time for a weekend update. Here at Giors.com I've focused on quality over quantity. I could write about my excellent late evening meal at Petrillo's in Glendora on Saturday night or about Dim Sum at NBC in Alhambra for lunch Sunday, instead, I'm going to tell you about an arcade cabinet and write one of the longest run-on sentences you've ever read. Come on in and let me tell you the fantastic story of this incredible MAME machine.
