Sully70 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Started pulling out some of my floppies today and played Canyon Climber. Not a bad game, at least it's somewhat challenging. Anyway, about floppies. I have several copied Menu disks with a hundred or so games, but most games will not load. The menu screen comes up, and I choose the # of the game I want, but once it's done loading all I get is a black screen. This happens on both an 810 drive and a 1050, and it happened with both an 800xl and an 800 with 48K. Maybe the disks just haven't stood the test of time. At least Tapper is one of the games that loads ok, so I'm happy with that one. Feedback would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
