SHAMUS
 I personally believe that Shamus is one of the Top 100 games ever made, and the Atari version is actually superior to the one I grew up playing on the PCjr, due to the fact that it's able to display more than four colors on the screen at the same time. Shamus looks great. He moves a little sluggishly when someone is going in the same direction as he, but that won't be for very long because everything dies nicely and quickly in this game, due to the fact that you keep throwing stilettos at them.
Apparently, Shamus is a private investigator, as the name of the sequel is "Shamus: Case II." He also has a little fedora (well, maybe it's a top hat: not enough pixels to really tell) and I think "shamus" means drunken, Irish private eye." This game is better than Berzerk in two ways:
1) It feels like you are making progress in Shamus, even though I'm fairly certain you can't beat the game
2) You can teach a monkey how to play a certain number of rooms but you cannot teach a man how to play Berzerk."
There's a few different skills levels to pick from and a running score so you can track your own progress.
Shamus: HOLDS UP NICELY!
