Bman - You mod every game you make don't you =)
I know I've seen you on other boards besides UFO.
Anyways, I can confirm it does not work for Atari version. I don't have a tremendous amount of modding experience, but I would be willing to help with a conversion for the Atari version. I may learn something. the extent of my experience is basically memory searches for trainers. I know my way in & out of my computer. Very computer savy, just never messed around alot with mods. If you think you could use my help, consider this my resume.
I'm off for work, I'll check in from my iPhone later.
