Simon Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hello everybody, does anybody have a scan of the instructions manual for the Atari XL/XE computer game "Ted Bear's Rainy Day Games" (1987, Baudville)? http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-rainy-day-games_4279.html Thanks and best regards, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Allan scanned the instructions and they're on archive.org, I just didn't have the time to add them to Atarimania yet: https://archive.org/details/rainy-day-games-baudville Edited March 1, 2021 by www.atarimania.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you and others been downloading them like your suppose to? Obviously not!!!! No more excuses. The more copies of these scans out there, the better. Here's a new one. It's not even listed on Atarimania, although it is mentioned in Antic magazine. https://archive.org/details/algebra-arcade-wepco-software/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/1983-09-anticmagazine/page/n79/mode/2up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yeah... I removed that one a while ago because I don't think it ever got released for the Atari in the end, though I'd love to be proven wrong. I know the manual says "Atari 800" and it appears in various dealer lists but it's odd that not a single copy has surfaced in 37 years. While this is the case with hundreds and hundreds of educational titles, this program appears to have been distributed on a wider scale than the exclusive school market so I'm puzzled... Maybe I can add it back as a proto or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Remove nothing, just notate the situation around it. Removing items leads to less people looking for it, because there is no mention that is exists on the popular sites. Your site is popular. No mention, no find... out of sight, out of mind.

However, the game was found and released for the C64 last month: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=199870 The picture shows Commodore and Atari versions being on the same disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 There's a whole lot of difference between the two games. Rainy Day Games is just uncommon while Algebra Arcade is ultra, ultra rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
