Re: I Dare You for the C64

(Regarding 'Use Your Loaf'.... CPC Power lists it as being related to the aforementioned The Antidote, which they've credited as R. C. D. Enterprise. http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=12242 The author for Use Your Loaf they say is Edmund Spicer. Now, we have that author in the datab...

Re: I Dare You for the C64

Basically, the vast majority of the titles tagged Pegasus Software (aside from the obvious Tony Collins own games, like The Hermitage, Teacher Trouble, Corya etc.) will be conversions from another format. For example... http://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C826/Gladiator%2C+The.html is currently only...

Re: I Dare You for the C64

I notice that 'Use Your Loaf' is credited to Louise Wenlock now... that would be incorrect, I think. To me, it looks like one of Tony's quick and dirty conversions of a game from another format (probably Commodore or Amstrad) as it credits R. C. D. Enterprises for the original game and Pegasus Softw...

Re: I Dare You for the C64

I'm not sure. It's possible Louise Wenlock could've been a pseudonym of Tony's... I've found no concrete evidence to confirm this... WOS hiding their permissions letters these days doesn't help... I presume Tony might have made some reference to "Louise" in his email. She was certainly billed as a n...

Re: Help loading a game

Choose settings then storage then autoload medium off, seems to stop it resetting the machine when you try and change the input tape to the tape you've made the save on. If you're using PAW then perhaps the +3 version would be better, as you'd have constant access to the overlays (without having to ...

Re: Help loading a game

Zesarux is here https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux It's quite powerful but isn't necessarily the most user-friendly emulator. I would personally use snapshots, rather than saves from within the program but I can understand that doing that is probably a lot easier as it integrates with the scree...

Re: I Dare You for the C64

I may be able to help clarify a few points as I reviewed a lot of The Guild's titles back in the day. Louise Wenlock was the author of I Dare You! Pegasus Software was Tony Collins of The Guild's software pen name. I presume, from my notes from the time, that he may have been involved on the program...

Clutches of the Balrog

Browsing the WOS archive I came across this title which doesn't currently have a solution or appropriate creator credits. I've submitted an author update to the CASA archive. Have pasted a solution and further info below. Not suitable for children, due to mild sexual content and innuendo, this adven...
