Yes, it would be shame if this all just faded away at this stage! Let's hope danielj gets his hands on the discs soon.marcusjambler wrote:This is sounding sooooo.... EPIC

Re: Bladedancer
I am still holding my breath for this one!
Did Daniel ever receive the discs? were they unreadable?

Erm, I don't think the discs have actually been posted yet!leenew wrote:I am still holding my breath for this one!

Ever since the author agreed to send Daniel the discs, about two months ago, I've been emailing him to remind him to do so, but although he has said that he would get round to it, more recently he's been saying that he's very busy and that posting the discs isn't a high priority for him.
I think he's a bit sick of me pestering him now, but if anyone else wants to contact him and give him a polite, friendly nudge, just to show how keen we all are to preserve and play his game, please feel free! It would be such a shame if Bladedancer just drifted off and became a distant memory.

That would lessen the risk of the buckling actually putting excessive pressure on the disk surface and destroying the media?
Re: Bladedancer
Gah! Wow that is a shame!
Does anyone live near him? maybe they could collect them from him if he is too busy to post them?

Re: Bladedancer
Oh heck, don't tell me it's him doing the delivery. It's probably halfway up a cow's bottom or something... I'm fairly sure My Hermes are modelled on him.

Not really, but if you feel like it, maybe email the author and remind him you're standing by..?danielj wrote:*wakes up* Hello? Was there something I was meant to do?

Re: Bladedancer
I have a copy of Bladedancer. How much would it be worth on ebay?
My memories are that it was terribly slow.

Re: Bladedancer
Would you be prepared to let someone archive it?
Re: Bladedancer
Will have to see as it's not at my home at present. Would you return it after archiving?
Re: Bladedancer
Yes, absolutely.
I'm only interested in borrowing it to make a digital copy of it, for the archive. (Currently the game is MIA.)
Re: Bladedancer
Ah was gonna say it would be great if we could get it archived before being resold.
In fact, I actually tipped BillCarr off this morning about this post (which he hadn't seen) - he often makes offers for games that are higher than what you might get on eBay (especially as selling prices are down at the moment due to what's going on in the world).
Plus he archives everything to FSD and shares with the community; hence check your PMs as I think you should have an incoming message ...

Re: Bladedancer
If you were willing, you could send me the discs and I'd copy and preserve them and then return them to you.
So then you'd still be able to sell them, if you so wished.
Re: Bladedancer
Will let you and Bill Carr know once I'm able to get hold of them.
Re: Bladedancer
Many thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Re: Bladedancer
Did we get any further with this?

Re: Bladedancer
For my part i can't get to the game for a while as it's located elsewhere.
Re: Bladedancer
It's being advertised on eBay.
Hope someone on here gets it (although the starting bid is pretty high).

Re: Bladedancer
Any news about this?
Re: Bladedancer
Yes I just put it on Ebay rather than keep hold of it.
Re: Bladedancer
So you're no longer interested in giving anyone on Stardot a chance to archive the disc(s) before you sell them?
Re: Bladedancer
I don't want to go back and forth with it.
Re: Bladedancer
Disappointing.
Hardly in the spirit of the community...

Re: Bladedancer
Would you be able to upload a decent scan of the cover?
Re: Bladedancer
Hopefully when I get back home.
Re: Bladedancer
That would be much appreciated by all. Would it be possible to get a 600dpi scan for our preservation archives?
