bradhig1 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 There was a game in compute's gazette for the 128 in which you drove a trash truck around a screen and over a roadway collecting litter. Anyone know what it is called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie1575 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Maybe "Trashman"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I did my best to locate it, but failed. There is a disk image with an index of all Gazette images (runable on C64 or C128). It is a little cumbersome to navigate, but has functions to search through the index per machine. I looked up a number of C128 titles but none did really match your description. https://commodore.software/downloads/download/151-miscellaneous-applications/877-compute-gazette-index-83-95 Archive.org has all the magazines here: https://archive.org/details/compute-gazette?sort=-date Between 1991 - 1995, the magazine ran as disk only. Supposedly the images should be on Arnold's FTP but I was unable to connect to it. https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/gazette/index2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Aha. It was made by Charles Brannon and featured in COMPUTE's First Book of the Commodore 128. It was originally published in the September 1985 issue of the Gazette, and was followed up by a user letter in January 1986. It wasn't even listed as a main feature in the games section, but smuggled into the Horizons 128 section with one small screenshot. That explains why I couldn't find it, as I only searched among main type-in games. https://archive.org/details/1985-09-computegazette/page/n61/mode/2up Edited May 20, 2022 by carlsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
