Glad it worked.Sure, I've PM'd you an email address (have also activated your PMs in the process, so you'll be able to reply to messages now, as well as receive them).
I've got a Summer 1984 price list in front of me for Micro Aid.
I've found a couple of adverts for Dobsoft's The Grange:fuzzel wrote:
The Grange by Dobsoft - reviewed by Alice in The Micro User (Jan-84), this was described as atrocious so probably killed off any interest in it at birth so I imagine it will be hard to get a copy of. I'm intrigued though, just how bad is it?
)LOL good idea
It'd recommend removing the publisher from these searches, otherwise great idea.MolMagMan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 2:47 pm Hiya
If it's any use, I've made a Google Sheet which automatically searches eBay for games on the list.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
*Most* of the time, the column "Items" will populate with the number of matches from an ebay search generated from the heading at the top of the sheet and the title. It's a little hit and miss when it works and when it doesn't.
However, clicking the arrow will load ebay search - forgive the intrusion of BBC tv programs
If someone would like edit access to this, please let me know and I can add you as an editor.

There have been threads about that in the past. Here's one:RetroBob wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 9:33 pm Dumb question no doubt - has anyone cross referenced these against the collection at the Centre for Computing History?

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time, Computereyes was my local computer store in Kent, it's where I used to buy my games from. I had forgetten they also wrote a few Archimedes games, and I believe Square Route was a puzzle game, but it was a long time ago when I was last there, I seem to remember the game though.
Hi Arcadian, did you manage to find out if this was the BBC micro version, and if so, whether you could obtain a copy of it?Arcadian wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 6:52 pm The good news is that the seller has been in touch with the buyer, who's happy to be put in contact with me regarding archival of the tape.
Now, the bad news ... I've got a feeling it might not be for the BBC/Electron after all. The artwork matches the Llamasoft game of the same name, for the Vic 20. I don't think Jeff had a BBC or Electron, and of course Adrian Stephens wrote the sole (known) Llamasoft release for the BBC (Colourspace).
As the seller has listed several other vintage computers - including a Vic 20 - I suspect the Abductor tape is actually for the Vic and it got mixed in with the Electron tapes. However I've asked the seller to clarify if he can remember playing it on the BBC or Electron.
Either way I'll keep you posted!
No, I got swallowed up by ABug prep and forgot - but thanks for the reminder, I've just emailed the buyer now.fuzzel wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 5:55 pmHi Arcadian, did you manage to find out if this was the BBC micro version, and if so, whether you could obtain a copy of it?Arcadian wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 6:52 pm The good news is that the seller has been in touch with the buyer, who's happy to be put in contact with me regarding archival of the tape.
