Maths With A Story 1 & 2 (BBC Micro Only)

[Dave_E]

Does anyone have .ssds of these two suites of educational programs? The Acorn Electron versions are archived (I even put lovely loading screens on those ones) but the BBC Micro versions still seem to be missing in action?

SSD-ified these in August last year, although brief search couldn't find them anywhere on the forum.
Maths With A Story 2 is full, unsure about the one on the demonstration disk, but I guess it's better than nothing for now

[Dave_E]

Yes, Maths With A Story 2 is the full version and contains all the loading screens, etc.

The demonstration disc is exactly that. I've never seen that before, but it is demos of each of the four programs on Maths With A Story 1 and Maths With A Story 2. The utilities have been crippled so that many of the features of the full versions are not available.

Anyone out there got a .ssd of the "full" Maths With A Story 1 for the BBC, or even a UEF?

[Dave_E]

PS. Thanks for the second one.

Maths with a Story 1 is in the educational archive. It is a teacher copy though and no documentation.

[Dave_E]

I might be stupid but I just cannot find it, either under capital M, or by searching on releases by BBC Soft.

Ah thanks, that's great. I've hacked in the original menu and it works just like the original.

The instructions for the Electron version are all available on the Everygamegoing website. I would *suspect* the BBC version is identical, just has some Mode 7 screens whilst loading the individual bits.
