tape inlay instructions wanted.

Post by **Arcadian** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 4:24 am

Right then Mick, that little lot should take care of most of the 'urgent' wants you listed?

I've also got Space Invaders by Bug-Byte - but don't want to steal Lee's thunder so I'll leave that one for him to snap!

Annoyingly Saloon Sally and Transistors Revenge weren't in the crates they were supposed to be in - so I can't help with these at present.

No instruction sheet inside my copy of Kissin' Kousins either - so I guess there's a possibility all you got given was the stuff on the back cover of the inlay.

April Showers - isn't that the one on the BBC Master/Compact welcome disc? If so, I suppose there's a possibility it was written especially for the welcome disc and was never actually released?

I have Space Hawks, but no instructions on the inlay and no insert either (like there was with Android Attack). It's quite possible that there was originally an insert, though.

Oh, and now that SSDs are available for Orbit Zero, I've photographed the instructions for this one too:

Inlays from

Nevryon and Q-Master by Fourth Dimension.

Here's inlay and booklet for Q-Master.

Have fun typing them in!

If I can keep my eyes open long enough I'll do Nevryon as well (that's another one with an accompanying booklet I'm afraid!).

I think we've been laid off, Lee ...

leenew · Post by **leenew** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:31 am

Indeed.

Do you still want me to collect more of those items or send what I have?

Post by **richardtoohey** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:49 am

Might as well keep an eye on things a little bit longer? Unless the future Mrs Lee is getting unimpressed with the clutter and/or the cost of the wedding goes up and you need payment sooner.

leenew · Post by **leenew** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:16 am

She has been unimpressed with the clutter for about 6 months

Did you see the bedroom I was working in on the "Resurrection" thread?
That had to be tidy before she got in from a hard day's work. She is SO unreasonable

Our house is tending towards an episode of The Hoarders (or whatever it is called) ... funny as you move stuff out one end of the house, more arrives at the front door ...

Let's keep an eye on eBay for another couple of weeks, and if no gems come up that will help with preservation/instructions, we'll ship 'em out to me in mid-April?

Michael Brown · Post by **Michael Brown** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 10:43 am

Wow!
Thanks very much everyone for all the inlays.
I will add the info to my collection over the next few weeks.

As of 27/3/14 - here is what I could really do with finding and checking...

Transistors Revenge by Softspot (although brief instructions are on Heist's inlay)!
Kissin Kousins by English (full instructions - if they exist)
April Showers by Bevan (was released - had the tape BITD).
Space Hawks by Computer Concepts
Oblivion and Space Invaders by Bug-Byte
Pharaoh's Curse by H-soft
Saloon Sally by Psion.
and
Uridium by Hewson (got the specy version!).

Still a list, but really getting there now - thanks again to everyone who has helped.

regards,
Mick.

PS @ Arcadian, if you have the Zany Kong tape, could you please either make and post a uef or confirm that the version I have on Disc001 is the same. This is because there are 2 issues and I want the release version to be the game on Disc001.

Post by **Arcadian** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:53 am

Here's Nevryon.

I'm off to an event until next week, but will see if I can locate Uridium and Oblivion before I go.

Post by **Arcadian** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:13 pm

Mick I've emailed you a UEF for Zany Kong, generated from the original cassette.

I'll add it to archive submissions once I've scanned the bits in.

Michael Brown · Post by **Michael Brown** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 5:44 am

thanks again for the inlays.

Just taken another look at the software on discs 001-010 and found 2 other games that could do with inlay details,

Winged Warlords by Superior
and Ledgeman by Software Projects.

regards,
Mick.

Ledgeman purchased from eBay.

Lee, I have a 'hints and answers' booklet for Acheton, it came with my double disc version from BITD.
see below:

Still got the other booklet if you need a better quality copy, just let me know. The box and discs also scanned too

leenew · Post by **leenew** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:51 pm

Cheers Col,
I am going to type these in

Mick, are you around?

Lee.

Michael Brown · Post by **Michael Brown** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:58 pm

Just taken another look at discs 001-010 and could also do with checking the following inlays.

Transistors Revenge by Softspot
Cosmic Fighter by Kansas
Wingled Warlords by Superior
Saloon Sally by Psion
Crazy Painter by Superior
Galaxy Raiders by Visions
Ledgeman by Software Projects
Rubik Cube by Computer Concepts

All previous inlays have been incorporated into the discs and I will be re-posting them for checking asap.

thanks again for all your help.
Mick.

Mick, just got a KK tape off eBay, and there are no more instructions other than the ones already posted in this thread (mine from a compilation, and someone else's from the inlay) (unless BOTH tapes were missing extra instruction booklets) ... so that's 3 copies of it, all brief ... so does seem to indicate that there is nothing more.

Michael Brown · Post by **Michael Brown** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 3:19 pm

thanks anyway Richard, I will just have to leave KK until some fuller info comes our way (if it did exist!)

Heres what I could do with checking for discs 011-020 (if anyone has the inlays!).

Drogna by Acornsoft
Kissing Kousins by English (if they exist)
Neutron by Superior
April Showers by Bevan
Space Hawks by Computer Concepts
Strike Force Harrier by Mirrorsoft
and
Nifty Lifty by Visions

regards,
Mick.

Strike Force Harrier by Mirrorsoft :

nothing else in mine, except the tape!

Probably gonna get this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBC-B-Micro-E ... 27ae539c9b
It says complete with manual - new and sealed.....

Lee.

CMcDougall · Post by **CMcDougall** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 6:28 pm

^can't see it saying manual

nothing on other side of box cover, but hold fire Lee, will check the extHD/DVDs later on......

leenew · Post by **leenew** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 6:45 pm

look on the back of your box. It says detailed manual, flight diagrams and keycards included, so if the ebay is new..... they must still be there

^since Nigel has already checked the old 'acornpreservation.org' site scans, no need for me to find my copy $\:D/$ (now can play more games!)
