I don't know about Commodore, but I had an Atari 1200, I think it was, 
and I had a game on tape or CD,  (don't remember which) called
Eastern Front. It was a real game, for two people to play. I found an 
Atari simulator called VICE, but it simulates an Atari 2600, whatever
that was, and that's looking for ROMS, not tape or CD.  And I don't know 
where I would get the game, especially in ROM.  Any help?
