tschak909 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Have been looking for this, as it was a game from my childhood, and the disk I had with it, is missing. Anyone have? (or any of the other Dynacomp titles for that matter?) -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Searched my entire collection (even GREPped it) - I do not have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bringing this back to the top to see if anyone might have it. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) fastrob was in contact with ron kim at one time, source files on 4 titles were to follow, not sure if anything followed... but there should have been some leads or cross leads from that interaction.... search out those people or names and one thing may lead to another... - go back to 1981 1982 1983? Chomp-Othello, Comp 'Othello, Comp 'O Thello also you might see if someone cataloged it with nimthello...sometimes the ST and 8 bit databases get mixed up a bit over time... I know it's a stretch but it has happened before... Edited December 27, 2017 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I was just flipping through the catalog and already found a few programs I never knew of and want now! Plus, now that I have a California Access CA-2001 (Indus GT clone) drive, all those CP/M titles are available to me as well! great resource! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have the disk. Got it in a Grab-bag of software that Dynacomp was selling when they were liquidating their SW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes. Tried to play it last night. I need to re-read the instructions. Looks like a basic program(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes, it's a BASIC program, a combination of Chomp (which in itself is a variation of Nim), and Othello. I have been looking for that program for three decades, can you please dump? (everybody has their kernel of initial nostalgia. This is mine.) -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tschak909 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) arrrrrrgh _SERIOUSLY_ ?! Get a device that can attach to the Atari and can make ATR files, create an ATR file (a disk), mount it as D2:, use Duplicate Disk from DOS to copy from D1: to D2:. Attach the ATR file here. Devices that can make ATR files: * APE (aka SIO2PC) * S-Drive * S-Drive Max * FujiNet -Thom Or even, send the disks to me, and I'll back them up.

gilsaluki Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Got some of those things. Never had any luck with them. Help/step-by-step instructions have never been good. People assume everyone is as technical as they are, thus the snobbish attitudes I have experienced. So, I got rid of those devices. Use only what was used in 1985. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) It would be nice, then, if you sent those disks to someone to be properly imaged. Can you contact @Savetz to get these shipped off to him? He'll reimburse shipping. -Thom Edited August 26, 2020 by tschak909 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of people here that can help you. If you have Dynacomp programs, you should be able to copy the programs to another disks (1985 style) and send them to someone to transfer to a modern PC. Dynacomp never copy-protected their disks so they should be easy to copy. Do you have any blank disks that you could use? I can copy these for you (I'm in Connecticut) or if your more on the west coast you could send them to someone over there like @Savetz . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people here would be willing to help. Using these devices is literally no more difficult than using 2 disk drives back in 1980. Set one floppy as drive 1, another as drive 2, and do a DOS copy command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 we have got to get these disks preserved, before we can't preserve them anymore. Time is running out, very fast! -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
