Got an E-mail this morning, and I can't put my finger on it (Too early) I just keep thinking Devil dice, lol.
"I am trying to find an atari game in which dice roll down from the sky and you have to dodge them. I loved it when I was a kid, and for the life of me I can't remember the name. I'd appreciate any information you could provide. thank you!"

Wouldn't happen to be Megamania, would it? (Substitute dice for purple hamburgers)

Somehow, I dont think Palamedes works since it's not for Atari. I don't even think you had to dodge dice in that game, anyway. ;)

I'm thinking Megamania as well. Though the picture above doesn't show it, there IS a level where dice are dropping down on ya.

It doesn't look like an Atari screen to me, but I did find this:

Good picture! Atari 5200 version I believe. Or maybe 8-bit.

Without a doubt it MUST be Megamania.

It is Megamania. Not sure which version. Maybe like Joe said it is the Atari 8-bit or 5200.
