Streck Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I have a bug up my rear about getting all the different cracked versions of games archived online. Back in the day, there were many different groups doing cracks of the same games, with their own unique members and BBSes. Recently, I looked through Jason Scott's collection of Apple II crack screens, and compared them to what was on Asimov (the biggest and best Apple II archive), and found that Asimov seemed to be short some. I contacted Mr. Scott, who very generously sent me a DVD of all the disk images he had, but it appears that some of them must have been lost since he originally placed the screenshots online. So, I turn to AA. The comp.sys.apple2 group isn't really the best place for this sort of inquiry; the wonderful folks there are more programmers and hardware hackers than gamers. I'm looking to know whether you might have any of these exact copies of games sitting around in your collection, and whether you might be amenable to ripping images from them (I'll gladly do it!). (this one actually isn't from textfiles.com, but a different site, and yeah, not a game) (unknown title) (unknown title) Edited February 19, 2011 by Streck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have .dsk files of some of these that aren't plastered. Print Shop I've never even seen a plastered version. O_o My Spy Hunter has a "PGP" intro that should be easy to strip away. I think my One On One was cracked from a non-disk format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no, you misunderstand - I'm looking specifically for these cracked versions. For example, the Spy Hunter you mention with the PPG (Pacific Pirates Guild) crack is all over Asimov and other sites, but the only place I've seen the West Coast Connection crack is in this screenshot.

Ah. See, I'm the opposite - I'm looking for unplastered versions. And on some occasions I've actually gone through and DEPLASTERED games.

Streck Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Progress! The MPG crack of Dino Eggs has been found, and the Apple Mafia screen has been identified as belonging to the 1984 Mindscape game Crime & Punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopa64 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think I have that West Coast Spy Hunter pirate. Though unfortunately I don't have the hardware to rip data off //e disks and the semi has graphical glitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I got the hardware, though I'm not sure I trust myself with someone else's disks. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
