JASPP to release the TBA Software titles

[sirbod]

TBA Software have granted JASPP permission to release some of their titles. I have to personally thank Martin at TBA for starting the process via this forum.

The following games are available as downloads in the JASPP Games section and as packages via PackMan:
Brutal Horse Power
The Cobalt Seed
Command Ship
Cyber Ape
Formula Two Thousand
Mirror Image and Merp

JASPP hope to release the remaining titles, once the authors have been contacted:
Axis (author has now been contacted)
DragonBall

If you're the author of one of these games or know how to contact the author, please get in touch.

For some reason I had it in my mind that Martin (Piper) had written Axis. Is that incorrect?

(Also, great to hear that the TBA titles are getting released at last. Some of them were great, it’ll be nice to play with them again).

It is incorrect, Axis was written by Jamie Bryant . Getting these games released would be brilliant, well done Jon!

Wow, this is great news. Some of TBA's work was brilliant, would be wonderful to play some of these again. Do thank Martin for doing this

Would be very happy for this to be available for download !!

Hi,

I've tried to get on your site yesterday and today and it's saying that it's down. It's not loading at all. Trying to download ADFFS and some games but it's not working.

Just comes up saying site can't be reached.

Just thought I'd let you know if you weren't already aware.

Thanks,

Brett

FWIW, all seems fine here for the JASPP forums. Was on yesterday too, no issues.

There's some fairly extensive Internet backbone issues that started yesterday, you might be affected. That or something has cached the DNS record and is returning the wrong IP.

Checking with the graphic designer re:Cyber Ape - if he says it's ok & it's ok with Martin / Alan @ TBA then I'm happy for it to go into the JASPP project.

Martin/Alan have already given the go-ahead, provided approval is given by the authors...so if you could eMail me saying you're okay for Cyber Ape to be release via JASPP, I'll release it : jon at jaspp dot org dot uk
