MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

8-Ball is the solids and stripes variation of table
pool. It is a two player only game, and requires joysticks. I believe that this
was also one of the few games by a non-Radio Shack company that was actually
available in cartridge form. You can control the spin on the ball, and the
amount of force that you hit the ball with. As with regular pool, you must sink
the 8-Ball last.
Charles J Roslund, one of the authors, also used to write an machine language tutorial column called 'Charlie's Machine' for Rainbow magazine during the early 1980's. The publishing company, Anteco Software, was also one of the few companies that actually showed off Coco wares at Comdex during the early 1980's (Radio Shack/Tandy, Datasoft, and Kraft (for joysticks) were some of the others).
