grant74 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi all!, hope you are all keeping ok and still enjoying the A8 scene. I am coming here cap-in-hand to be honest, in need of a bit of help. I'm chasing after a game for Atari 8 bit called "Conquering Everest" , which I think is by Asp software. I cant find the title for sale anywhere (tried Evilbay etc), so I wondered if anybody has an .XEX file of it I can use on my side 2 cartridge and load it up that way. I know its not the world's most exciting Atari title but i did used to have it many moons ago and would love to play it again on my Atari. Thanks in advance for any help received.

+orpheuswaking Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 That's a pretty rare tape game. Not sure I've ever seen one or played that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant74 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes, apparently its very rare. I believe it was a tape only game, written in BASIC too I think. Its basically a strategy game where you manage a team to try and get to the summit of Everest. It's probably not as good as I remember - after all its not exactly Dropzone or something like that but if I can find it that would be cool.

_The Doctor__ Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Don't knock it.. games like that are monumental in their own right! Original and downright interesting. That alone makes worth more than the myriad of me too clone games out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) You sure its not Everest Explorer, which also happens to be BASIC and is about conquering Everest.. Its also got Acrorn Software Presents on the title ie ASP Anyway, if its not this at least there's a similar game to play Paul..

grant74 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hiya, Blimey! I really must check my responses a bit quicker! so a very belated thank you anyway! The game title was definitely Conquering Everest, however after looking at the PDF file of the game you suggested it does sound very much like the same game. Although the logo looks entirely different I must say. I can't find any info online about ASP software, apart from I believe they are from the UK and mainly wrote early RPGs.

beamer320i Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Is this not APS (Argus Press Software), the same company that produced the Atari Computing magazine-on tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
