Nightmare is a prototype Atari arcade game that I got from an ex-Atari
employee. It was done by GCC (Quantum and Food Fight) and is based on a
Food Fight board (raster). I think it was to be a conversion kit for TRON
(since it uses the same controls and screen orientation) but for some
reason didn't make it out-- maybe too difficult to convert a TRON cabinet
in the field?. Very cool game though-- nice graphics (twice the ROM of
Food Fight), digitized sound, etc.

I've been collecting parts to duplicate the thing as a kit. (Found the
required ADPCM chips in a bunch of old Voice Response Unit motherboards
last week, BTW!)
