You may have noticed many posts in the video games section have to do with Alternate Reality.  What is Alternate Reality? It is a computer RPG (Role Playing Game) that was originally released on the Atari 8-bit computers in 1984.  It was ported to many other computers of the time.  There was a very substantial sequel released in 1986 with many other sequels planned but never released.  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.
