Dinky-do, taken off a rob c menu (hey I'm learning new stuff all the time)

Noticed it was missing from Atarimania.

I know you may not be interested as it is not from an original, but it's here anyway

I also dumped this one from a non-original cassette back in 2005; can't verify its status, though.

A while ago I emailed you a fresh created .CAS file from a Ghostbusters tape.

 

I never got a reply (I emailed with the link on the atarimania site)

 

Did you ever received my Ghostbusters CAS image?

Is anybody in Chile working on the preservation of the educational games released in the country, particularly the ones on tape? I found absolutely no project on the Atari pages I checked. Considering the number of titles that were available, this is criminal...

 

I found this program that I downloaded years ago and had completely forgotten. Does anybody have more information on Cherry-Bay? List of titles? Scans? Other tape images?

 

Thanks!

Sorry Marius, I'm the one who was supposed to reply and I forgot.

 

I know I wanted to compare both tape versions available - the original by Activision (UK) and the re-release by Ricochet - before updating the pages, something I just did right now after seeing your post! Both cassettes are actually 100% the same so your image will be on Atarimania very soon!

 

Thanks for your contribution!

Hi AtariFrog,

 

I sent an e-mail a while ago (April 20th), with some missing games (Mr. M, and a version of PacMan from the UK?)

 

was you able to get this?

 

Otherwise I'll re-send the atr image.

Hey AtariMania folks :)

 

Just so you know, I tested my Success with Math - Quadratic Equations tape at the weekend and it loaded fine. I have the program on a DOS disk now since it's BASIC. I will scan the manual and create a .cas image once I'm back from Sweden next week.

Manual and gatefold scans for D-Bug. Always thought this was a rather interesting game. :cool: VAPI is having trouble imaging it, I'll attach a .PRO until it gets sorted out.

OK, I see that Action!, Basic XL and Basic XE are *still* not in the database. So to correct this incredible travesty, I offer dumps of my own carts in .a8 format. Enjoy! :)

 

I'm pretty sure I have the Action! manual kicking around here somewhere, and at least one of the Basic's manuals as well. For the record, the Action! image was from an orange OSS cart; Basic XL/XE carts were the black/yellow variety. If I can find the carts, I'll scan 'em for you.

 

I have an image of the Basic XE extension disk (I think; it may just be the autorun.sys that loads the extensions) and I have either the Action! Runtime and/or Toolkit. If there's any interest in those, I'll dredge 'em up for y'all. :)

Ok is it just me or does the title screen for Dragon Games looks really similar to the title screen of many of the early Automated Simulations games? Look at these screenshots:

 

Dragon Games

Rescue at Rigel

Same font, almost the same colors, similar order. There's something funny here...

Sorry for replying to such an old post, but I just read it, and didn't see a suitable reply yet! :)

 

I don't think there's anything funny at all. The font is the standard, built-in, Atari 8-bit font. The colors on the "Dragon Games" screen are the standard, built-in, Atari 8-bit color register values before you POKE or STA your own spiffy-diffy color values into the color registers. The graphics mode is the standard, built-in, Atari 8-bit "large colorful text" mode-- GRAPHICS 2 in Atari BASIC, or ANTIC 7. So the only thing "funny" is that they obviously didn't go to any great trouble to design nice title screens with custom fonts, custom colors, bitmapped graphics integrated with text and sprites, etc. They took the quick and easy route, the one requiring the least amount of effort.
