296.0. "Request for color software titles" by PHDVAX::MURRAY (Kinder *AND* Gentler) Fri Nov 11 1988 14:11

   Hello Fellow Atarians! 

   After figuring out that VIDEO-KEY from Practical Solutions would
   solve the problem of providing RF output (i.e. *COLOR*) from my 1040,
   I ordered one from Computability for $84.  As is mentioned several
   notes back, Best Electronics offers an RF adaptor that can be
   installed in an ST for $50, but the owner of Best advised me against
   buying it as it came with no instructions.  He said they would install
   one on my motherboard for a total of $100 plus shipping but said I'd
   be better off with VIDEO-KEY.  Appears he was right! 

   The problem is that since I bought the 1040 with mono monitor, I
   quickly forgot about any program that ran ONLY on color.
   Consequently, I don't have any idea of what things I've been missing.
   Can you folks help fill me in on what the good color stuff might
   be? 

   Specifically: 

	1)  What are the Public Domain offerings on the ENET that only 
   	    work on color?

	2)  What are the color "must-haves", PD or $$?  I'm mainly
   	    interested in kiddy stuff, but anything striking in its
   	    use of color is appreciated.

   Thanks for any help.
