Doctor Boris by Alex Dewdney is a type-in BASIC game, originally published in Atari User Volume 3 No. 6 (October 1987). It rather boldly proclaimed itself "Game of the Year" and was one of the first listings I typed in all by myself -- and then tinkered around with. Consequently, while it's likely an obscure title for anyone other than Atari User readers, it will always be special to me!

Atari A to Z is a series that gradually works its way through the Atari 8-bit's catalogue of games, one letter at a time. Once we get to Z, we go back to A and start all over again!
