Aunty Entity Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 No its not some kind of sex toy. If it is, you're in the wrong place. She's a side scrolling shooter. Reminds me of a cross between the old arcade job scramble and I'm still having a mental blank of the A2 game that has "Attack the Tank" in it... Fly through a series of caverns, avoiding missiles, blowing said missiles and radar stations up. With laser or bombs. I've popped it up on TLP. You'll find it in the http pages, ftp or the BBS itself if you can download from there. http://tlp.zapto.org or get it from the horses mouth https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FStewBC%2Fpenetrator-apple2%2Freleases&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEfZcbcG9bpaMJvS1eXSaGL_uYG0g A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Star Blazer and here is the link to a zip file of it: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/action/starblaz.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how you went, but over TCP, x-modem seems to be the most reliable... but even that's not what I'd call 90% despite my hopes when putting the file areas back, it remains more effective to FTP or HTTP them, but you're welcome to try. Let us know how you go. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you go. A I've not had a chance yet (been too busy with housework to tinker with the A2E) but I was able to transfer several files off Captain's Quarters with both Y-Modem and X-Modem. I'm using a WiModem232 and I think he uses TCPser on a Raspberry Pi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Entity Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 My BBS setup is a bit more convoluted, on the local network I can convince files to download, but remote users have been super hit and miss between nothing working and z-modem working.
