All you have to do is finish the building. Sound easy? Then you’re forgetting about certain government regulations, the neighborhood punks, and the fact that falling bodies (including your own) accelerate at the rate of 32 feet per second/per second. It’s a tough life, maybe. But it makes your beer taste better.

The Best of Electronic Arts is the second ADAM software title in the planned "The Best of" series... the first being the commercially released The Best of Broderbund (Choplifter and A.E.). However, The Best of E.A. was never officially released. Other planned titles in the "The Best of" series that were never released/produced include The Best of Sierra On-Line (Troll's Tale and Jawbreaker II), The Best of Sirius (Grud's in Space, Type Attack and Capture the Flag) and The Best of Synapse (Necromancer and Rainbow Walker).
The Best of E.A. for the ADAM Computer is in fact a finished product which was copyrighted 1984, but for whatever reason (probably completed just prior to Coleco's announcement in Jan. '85 that they were abandoning the ColecoVision and ADAM), Coleco decided not to release it commercially. Even after this announcement by Coleco, they still had plans to release software that was finished or close to it during the 1985 calendar year, but later decided against it. They instead made it available to ADAM Users Groups circa 1985/1986 to share with the ADAM Community.
