Acca of Hexham

Acca of Hexham (c. 660 – 740/742) was a Northumbrian saint and Bishop of Hexham from 709 until 732.

Life

Born in Northumbria, Acca first served in the household of Bosa, the future Bishop of York, but later attached himself to Saint Wilfrid, possibly as early as 678, and accompanied him on his travels. Later he told his friend Bede of their stay at Utrecht with the saintly Archbishop Willibrord, Wilfrid's old pupil who was carrying on his work of converting continental heathens. On the return from their second journey to Rome in 692, Wilfrid was reinstated at Hexham and made Acca abbot of St Andrew's monastery there. During St Wilfrid's later years, Acca was the older man's loyal companion, eventually succeeding him in 709 as abbot and bishop.

Acca tackled his duties with much energy, in ruling the diocese and in conducting the services of the church. He also carried on the work of church building and decorating started by Wilfrid. Acca was both an accomplished musician and a learned theologian. He once brought to the North a famous cantor named Maban, who had learned in Kent the Roman traditions of psalmody handed down from Gregory the Great through Saint Augustine.

Getaway! (video game)

Getaway! is a crime-themed scrolling maze game for the Atari 8-bit family designed by Mark Reid and published by the Atari Program Exchange (APX) in 1982. The game won the 1983 $25,000 Atari Star Award for best APX submission, an award previously won by My First Alphabet and Typo Attack. Prior to Getaway!, Reid developed a skiing game, Downhill, also published by APX.

According to Reid, Atari was impressed with Getaway! and had "big plans" for the game, but the North American video game crash of 1983 occurred before this could happen.

A non-digital illustration of Getaway! was featured on the cover of the Fall 1983 APX catalog.

Gameplay

Getaway! takes place on scrolling map of a town, 35 screens in size. You leave your hideout and drive around the maze using up gasoline in the process. Pausing at a gas station refills the tank.

Also in the maze are dollar signs (which give a little money when collected), armored vans (which give a lot of money and immediately alert the police to your presence), and three loot items. To complete a level you must collect all three loot items, then the armored van, and then return to your hideout.
