30th Anniversary BBC and Electron Collection

Copter by Eben Upton

That would presumably be the Eben Upton!

Just had to re post Disc 117.

This is due to me making the decision to include the newly restored Micro User game called Water Works and this replaces Micro User's Solitaire which has now moved to Disc 118 which is out next month.
This was done because Water Works contains 6 files and there was 7 file spaces left on Disc 117 whereas disc 118 did not have enough and so Disc 119 would have had to have been used which isn't due out until the new year.

regards,
Mick.

Just re-posted Disc 102 due to Lee finding the correct version of Defence Com from the Acorn User.
This version has the correct author and correct keys.
Just a minor change, but one still worth doing.

Mick.

PS Disc118 is due out early December and features some great xmas game!

[Michael Brown]

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc033 due to correcting a minor fault in the high score of Teletext Invaders spotted earlier by Lee. Purple Invader now displayed for 30 points.

regards,
Mick.

PS Disc118 is coming very soon!
Disc119 now with Lee for testing!

[Michael Brown]

Enjoy!

Is Apocalypse posted on the disk as an alternative version?
You're aware that http://www.stairwaytohell.com/bbc/archi ... ommand.zip is the same game, but a native disk version which requires no amendments and has more scenarios to play...

[Michael Brown]

Hi Bill,

The version of Apocalypse I have included is the Red Shift tape copy, but I have borrowed the disc fix from the larger Command Software version and added that to it.
I have tried to create a version that is as close to the tape version as possible.

regards,
Mick.

Disc 068 re-posted due to finding instructions for Castle Of Nightmares obtained from scans of the Acorn User.
