I'm archiving my disks at the moment (which I've been intending to do for almost 30 years now). I'm coming across lots of brilliant surprises but the following are likely the most interesting (so far) for bbcmicro.co.uk as I couldn't find them on the site.
Choplifter [adf]
Looks like a pre-release (with source code) of AirLift by Superior Software - seems to be a different author though!
Animal/Vegetable/Mineral [adf] (Bourne Educational Software)
Where is the line drawn between educational software and games software?
Gumshoe Logic [adf] (Megacycal Software)
This might actually be called "Mindbenders" - I couldn't see it under either name in the bbcmicro archive
Towns of Great Britain [adf] (Bradfield School)
Another one that may fall under education more than games?
Space Arena [adf] (Ozark Software)
I already sent this one via email so I believe it's been added to the archive now
Purple People Eaters [adf] (R.H. Software)
Looks like a pre-release version of Plegaron People Eaters (which is particularly interesting as it's written entirely in BASIC and the code is very accessible)
Vtol [adf] (?)
I suspect this is a demo that was never completed (judging by "VTOL" posts I've seen on the internet)
Trivial Pursuit II - A New Beginning [adf] (Domark)
I couldn't find this in the bbcmicro archive - seems like a fully working version
Cribbage [dsd] (Cliff Davies)
This is a Cribbage game I wrote in my early uni days - I think it holds up well so may be suitable for the archive?
I'm still working through my disks so will add to this thread if anything else turns up that might be suitable - thought I'd better post this before I lose track
Nine "new" titles that may have a place in the archive
Re: Nine "new" titles that may have a place in the archive
Thanks very much!
Fwiw, it plays in colour if run on a Master 128.

Trivial Pursuit A New Beginning
Slightly different than RokCoder's disk image, which appears to be derived from the tape version, in that the loading picture and player name input are in MODE1 rather than MODE5, and the questions are compressed, taken from the original disk

Hi BillC,
Could you send me a list of all the items you have in your archive?
I would like to check through it for further MIA titles.
Thanks in advance,
Lee.
