Our friends at Atarimania.com have informed us of the recovery of an unreleased text adventure for the Atari 400/800 called The Ronin which has been missing for 39 years. A game that was intended for release eventually by Brøderbund Software, who had acquired Synapse Software at the time.
The game was found on a disk belonging to Bill Darrah (former Synapse Software programmer). It is thanks to the efforts of John Hardie of the National Videogame Museum who dumped the game, and for author David Alzofon for allowing the game to be made available.
