BSA Starfire Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thought you folks might like to see this: http://www.filfre.net/page/4/ We sent the Russian [read: Soviet] embassy (in Washington, D.C.) several copies of Summer Games for the Commodore 64. An enclosed letter stated since they would not be competing in the regular Olympics, at least they could participate in our version of the Games. This package was eventually returned to us with a thank-you note, because they only had access to Atari home computers. Our marketing people quickly replaced the Commodore software with Atari material and sent it back. I always wondered if they enjoyed the game, because we never heard from them again. Interesting read, some other great stuff on this blog too. Best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
