EdgeOfPortal Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) ...Is it out yet? Either I'm missing it or I don't see a buy button. Never mind found it. Edited June 1, 2020 by EdgeOfPortal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeOfPortal Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Bought it! Great to see new software being released for the Aquarius. I believe this is the first physical homebrew being released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you're referring to BL-Bird, the Flappy Bird clone that Martin v.d. Steenoven made as a proof of concept for BL-Basic. It was released as a cartridge image, but it never got an (official) release on physical cartridges, although I did make a few copies at cost for collectors who wanted them.

Yes, I'm sure I can rustle up a few more copies, assuming I have enough 16K EPROMs. Anyone who's interested, just let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hm, it would appear that Roy Templeman had a page on itch.io where he offered digital download at "name your price" but that page is now put behind password protection, perhaps on request from Cronosoft so they can sell enough physical copies?

After purchasing the physical tape, Roy Templeman was kind enough to give me a password to download the digital ROM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 With the 2nd tape recorder I used it loaded fine. Btw. I'm surprised how well the recorders still work after almost 40 years. There are many much younger and more expensive devices with rubber belts that are unusable by now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
