Shadow Orbit

Dunlin Computing, 1983. Game for Atari 8-bit computers.

Description

A wargame for Atari 8-bit computers, released by Dunlin Computing in 1983 and never reissued.

Provenance

Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
