The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4

Hi,

I have uploaded TheSecretDiaryOfAdrianMole.zip into the 8bit folder on the FTP server. It contains original CAS files, and complete artwork scans for this Atari 8-bit tape, marked MISSING in the database.

Cheers,
Wes

Atari 130xe games book

Here are all the listings from Atari 130xe games book... the book comes with a CHEXSUM program which (for most of the programs at least!) makes checking them a bit easier. For some of them though, I think they've probably deleted some lines/variables before going to print, not realising that would c...

Games Computing Magazine

Hi, Here are the Atari listings from the "Games Computing" magazine. There is no checksum on these, and printing wasn't always easy; I've tried to keep things as authentic as possible (including many typos in the listings!) - but in a few places where a quick bit of code was necessary to make the ga...

Blue Thunder tape art

Hi,

Here is a scan of the art from the original limited A8 tape release of Blue Thunder - much nicer than the grey scan of the magazine ad you currently have on that page.

Thanks,
Wes

Boulderdash IV - Hi-Tec CAS files

Spy vs Spy 1/3 Hi-Tec

Hi, I've uploaded to the FTP site CAS files for Spy vs Spy 1 and 3, the Hi-Tec cassette re-releases, which are marked as missing in the database. There doesn't appear to be any "rebranding" that Hi-Tec did, so perhaps these end up being clones of other tape releases. But here they are anyway. ftp.at...

One Rejection!

I don't know if you want this at all, but here's a Basic dice game called "Snake Eyes" I unearthed on a disk backup - I wrote it and sent it to Page 6 in about 1989 I think, but it didn't get published...

Page 6 binary games

Hi, Here is a zip of missing games from Page 6/New Atari User - these were all type-ins, but produced a fully machine-code binary to run. Some of them needed a 5-liner basic loader - I've manually converted these into standalone XEX files. Contents and details:- BatPack.xex - Bat Pack, by Bill Halsa...

Home Computing Weekly - All Atari Listings

Hi, Attached is a ZIP file of (I think) every Atari listing published in the UK Home Computing Weekly magazine. The print quality of those magazines was not always easy to work with - no control characters/inverse, so I had to make a few judgment calls on the way, but anyway, here we go. Some of the...

Re: Air Defense, Chutes, Maths Fun, Mosaic Puzzle -Compute 3

Four more: Dragonmaster - by Chris Metcalf, p56, Compute 41, Vol 5, No. 10 (Oct 1983) - you have a "Missing original BASIC file" comment - I've proof-read yours, and added in the missing contents. There's only one difference now between the printed magazine and your version: line 1070 has ":CC=0" on...

Re: Reaction Timer / Morse Code / Space Docker (ASM) / Ski R

So guys... It's creeping towards a year since I typed in a load of these Virgin games, and not many of them have made it into the database. I'm not hassling you, but I would like to know if there's anything I can do to make it easier for you to take what I've typed, and get it into the form you need...

Re: Blue Ribbon Games Disk

Not sure whether you got round to adding this... :-)

Anyway, I've now managed to get myself a SIO2SD, and here's a copy of the ATR file. Boot with basic.
http://www.teapotrecords.co.uk/tmp/Blue ... esDisk.zip is still available too, for the artwork.

Cheers,
Wes
