Re: I Dare You for the C64
...but how do we know that it's an official release? So far the best evidence I have found is a picture at Retrogames which does look about as official as you would expect a low volume mail-order only title to be, so I guess it was officially released.
P.S. Where does the information come from ...

Re: Any Sherlock Holmes BASIC Adventures?
All the Latif pages are 404. Has there been a massive sweeping of old software for the C64 from the Net?

Re: Free Usborne 1980s Computer Books
Oops, I should have updated this thread a few months back!
The address for these books has changed, the above link will take you there but in case the old link stops working here is the current direct link (scroll to the bottom of the page to see the books).

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
If you are willing to use a another emulator for a different computer then you could use the Dragon versions released by Microdeal (though this excludes Castle Dracula since they never released that game for the Dragon).

Ah, that would be a Jim Gerrie port - the cassette image (and indeed actual cassette) I have is for the Dragon computer.Sudders wrote:Hmmmm, I'm not too clever. I've been using an MC-10 emulator and just wanted a cassette image I think so I could just play the game.

Do you want a Jim Gerrie port to the MC-10, a cassette image, or just a listing of the program? I can help with the last two but not the first.Sudders wrote:You are a legend. Do you have Mansion by Microdeal?

Re: How to query the database independently from the game se
Which games for the c64 don't have a year, company, author,genre etc
It would make it a lot easier to update the database where needed.

Re: Company Names
We only list original releases, so re-releases are not featured.
Does a game converted from one medium to another (e.g., cassette to disc) count as an original or a re-release? Specifically, Orange Software published disc versions of Quickbeam Software's Dragon games, and at present the entries ...
