I remember vaguely an Atari 8-bit game from my childhood.

It, or at least the cracked version thereof, was 138 sectors long, meaning it was between 17125 and 17250 bytes.

It was a large multi-screen platformer, and it had something to do with dragons.

I must find this game, same as I found Xagon and Hard Hat Willy.

Forgive me for laughing at you as you announce to the world that you're looking for "Hard Hat Willy." If that doesn't sound like some kind of cheap porno flick about a construction worker, I don't know what does!

Are you sure about the size? Not too many 8-bit Atari games were that big.

Was the game called "Adventure" (although that is only 4K)? Or perhaps it was the Activision game called "Double Dragon" by Dan Kitchen (which is 16384 bytes).

I have a bunch of Atari 2600 rom images if you want them, including the ones I just mentioned, but they are all between 2048 bytes and 16384 bytes, with the exception of "Fatal Run", which is 32768 bytes.

Was this an Atari Program Exchange offering?
