Hi, not sure yet whether contact will be through his main stardot account, or the retrosoftware account which I set up several years back ... we'll be sure to post an update to this thread once we've got everything worked out.

Hi, somebody else has kindly offered to take over the duplication and distribution of the Retro Software titles, as I'm regularly working away at events - often for weeks at a time - and have really struggled to find the time. All the materials and existing stock were dropped off this week, but it m...

Evening! If anyone reading happens to be free between 11-14 April and is good with kids or has experience of working with children/young people, if you might be interested in working at one of Educraft's "Get Animated 2.0" events - which are running over the Easter holidays, please PM me o...

Hope you recover quickly Tricky! James you too!

So here's a link to one drive which contains a lot of VIDC enhancer documentation and photographs including all the sales paraphernalia of thank you notes that I used when selling the VIDC enhancers. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aufvo-56gJHw0IpwyYsEixEOn3Vp2Q?e=gGq5aS Hopefully this link should be available...

Thanks Paul for the efforts you're taking to share/preserve all of the valuable files and info you've collated and curated over the years. I've downloaded the 4 x Archives and, as I already had some hosting set up at http://acornarchive.org.uk I've uploaded/extracted the 500mb Retro-Kit archive toge...

Title: Submarine Publisher: Soft Options Machine: BBC Managed to pick this up off ebay. It was an MIA title. Not any more! :) Submarine_SoftOptions_BBCMicro_Cassette.jpg Submarine_SoftOptions_BBCMicro_Insert-BusinessCard.jpg Submarine_SoftOptions.png Advert: SUBMARINE from SOFT OPTIONS A&B Compu...

Stickied and yes please, whole weekend.

Here you go Mick

Had a little go before I went to bed, only got up to level six, but I'll be back for more - I can see it being quite addictive!

Very fast and smooth but what else do you expect from an 0xC0DE game?

I've just looked up Mushroom Software and they appear to be a little known C64 publisher. https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/super-scramble Their other games appear to be MIA and I can't see any reference to Flat Out, so you might be sitting on something very rare indeed, whether it be for the C6...

Good work Bill, great perserverence!

Sound advice there Mr Pie!

I sincerely hope nobody on this forum has wasted their money on any of the dross from that plagiarist.

Devastating news. All long-term members will be aware of how generous you've been with your time over the years in terms of sharing knowledge and offering help/advice to other users via the forum, facebook and via pm/in person. I'll also never forget the display we put on together at the BBC Micro 3...

I do agree with Ed here, in that we should stick with the current weeknight selections. This thread is to merely ask the question of how we alternate the Tuesday General Sessions and Thursday Dev nights. Also, I think we have to take into account the needs of Ed first and foremost, as well as the ot...

Looks like you got through loads of stuff through the day ... even VR, wow (you must try Beat Saber, it's awesome!) ... anyway thanks for sharing the pics, look forward to Paul's write-up!!

Are these still available? I love the vaguely familiar styling and centipede is a classic.

Hi. I believe there are a few sets left BUT I need to find the box with them in. I will post back here when I locate them!

My version states "BBC B / DRAGON 32" with the Dragon reference scrubbed out in marker pen. There is evidently only a BBC version on the tape too.

Cor blimey!

Yeah, I accepted the invites, for some reason Google has deleted them from my diary. :cry: Ed has forwarded me the details, I'll create my own diary entry for the next one, and then I'll get next month's anyway so it's not a major issue. I only noticed that they had vanished last week when outlook ...

Hi James, I only created invites for September events - October's will follow soon. I can see you've accepted the invite for the 23rd September Dev event (which contained the Zoom logins) so you should have everything you need for this one. I can see that you're not currently on the invitee list for...

I have Galaxy Conflict but I missed out on Conflict when several copies of each appeared on ebay (for several 8-bit platforms) maybe 6-8 years ago. From memory 2-3 BBC Galaxy Conflicts were listed but only 1 x BBC Conflict (which I think I got outbid on). GC was in a giant box so was stored separate...

Nice little curio there, well done Chris (+anon!) - great find.

Wow brilliant work Lurkio! Let me flag this for Phil P's attention!

Hi there,
I'd love to order...
- Elite
- BBC Micro - A Shape of things to Come
- RISC PC
- Codename Droid
...but I can't work out how to message you!
Thanks!
Richard

Payment received and I was actually able to get them sent in today's post, so they should be with you very soon!

Very cool David!

I love the fact that the Master still has the Acorn World teletext screen on it (that Dave Jeffery designed), which I assume was left over from when you displayed it in the foyer in between the two rooms at Retro Reunited Huddersfield/Acorn World 2009!?

Hi Richard, thanks for the order, I'll drop you a PM now with the details and will enable your PMs so you can actually reply(!)

i was thinking i would love to have a go a programming vulcan venture for the beeb but i would need a blitter (cant do this much graphics in software) and also need to load each level from disk Absolutely amazing work on Ladybug, it's so polished! re: a Blitter, have you seen this video? http://abu...

Certainly, I've sent a PM!

Still loads of these posters left should anybody else be interested in ordering any!!
