Trivia (1)

There's no sight of an original game on this compilation. All the programs are just hacks, mainly from type-ins!

@Andreas Koch; Well, I guess we know why they were called "Rob"-Tek now...

Normally evil Atarians did hack, crack or made pirate-copies of commercial A8 games. Here the situation is the other way around, a british A8 vendor collects german type-in listings and sells them commercially. Aha, so even vendors, producers, etc. are sometimes pirates... Games from well-known german authors, like Oliver Cyranka, Thomas Fischermann, Kemal Ezcan and others can be found on this tape. And all games show "(c) by SOS Software" on the screen, which is not true at all - the games are simply ripped !! -Andreas Koch.
