In which I play the game "Livewire!", written by Tom Hudson, which was published as a type-in program in Analog magazine issue 12 (which, by the way, you can read here: https://archive.org/details/analog-computing-magazine-12).

This is a fun game. It's an implementation of the arcade game "Tempest", which at the time had never been done on the Atari computers. There's a story, from the author of the game, about how the game came to be, which you can read here: http://analog.klanky.com/funstuff.htm

This one is definitely worth a play or three, and I realized (after I read the story of the game) that I did not see all of the game levels as the webs are spelling out the word "LIVEWIRE"!
