30th Anniversary BBC and Electron Collection

[Michael Brown]

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc108 in Section 9.
This is because of a bug fix by Tricky to the controls to his Frogger game when using it via a ROM.

Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc045 in Section 4.
This is because the instructions for Chess from Micro Power were slightly wrong. They have now been copied from their inlay. Note the version on this disc is the Model B only version using Mode 1 graphics. An early Model A version with Mode 7 text graphics has now been found and put onto AltD015, which will be released once full.

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc113 in Section 10.
This is because I have been sent the instructions for Mexico '86' from Qual-Soft. They have now been typed in. You can press Escape to skip them.
Thanks to Terry for the inlay.

Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc 024 in Section 3.
This is because I have added some better instructions to Space rescue from D.A.C.C. from an advert posted on Stardot. I really could do with seeing the inside of the inlay for the tape, but not at ebay prices!

Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi All,
Just re-posted Disc106SE in Section 8, Disc112 in Section 10 and Disc150 in Section 21.

That sorts the Qual-Soft footy games.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
Just re-posted Disc093 in Section 6 thanks to Fuzzel correcting a bug at line 255 in Chark (when collecting treasure) which originally stopped the game from being able to be completed.

Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
Just re-posted Disc089 in Section 6 and Disc151 in Section 21 as I have now been able to check both the Duckworth books BBC Programs Vol.1 and Electron Programs and then amend both Space-Blaster and Dungeon level 99 accordingly. Also, instructions from the book added to Space-Blaster.
Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
Just re-posted Disc023 in Section 3 and Disc108 in Section 9 due to amending the instructions I did for both Moon Buggy and Battlezone Six. Their presentation now matches the same as those I did for several other Kansas titles I added instructions to.

Mick.

These are brilliant Mick. Do you have a complete list of all your games by disc number in an excel or text file?

I've attached a text file that I've been keeping with the descriptions from the forum posts. Maybe it'll help.

Well that puts my list to shame Thanks for the link!

[sweh]

Well that puts my list to shame Thanks for the link!

Your list has better descriptions 'cos it's from the forum post itself; my list is generated from the menu on each disk and so has less information (and then I truncate it even more to fit into 4 columns, otherwise the page just gets too long and hard to read).

[lurkio]

PASSWORDS: Imogen features passwords which allow you to skip to later levels. These can normally be found listed in the instruction program/loader usually by pressing P when the game control keys page is displayed.

I don't think the tape version of Imogen, which is the version on your Disc 29, actually allows you to enter a password, though..? To do that, I think you need to be using the disc version of Imogen, which is on bbcmicro.co.uk:

http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=512

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
Wow!, I never knew the disc version of Imogen was the only version with the passwords.
BITD I transferred the tape copy and never thought about looking at the disc version as I thought it would be the same.
Thanks for pointing this error of mine out.
I have now copied the disc version over to D029 in Section 3 and amended my instructions to include details from the disc inlay about saving and loading your score/position etc.
Also corrected a slight error with the password for Screen B in my original instructions and can also confirm that all passwords work and all relevant sections load correctly.

Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
I have just re-posted Disc143 and Disc144 in Section 20. The reason is I have added more fuller instructions to the A.S.K. titles Squeeze and Juggle Puzzle.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
I have just re-posted Disc012 in Section 2. The reason is I have corrected spelling and grammar to the Knight Lore instructions thanks to careful eyes by a fellow forum member.

regards,
Mick.

[Michael Brown]

Hi all,
I have just re-posted Disc024 in Section 3. The reason is that I have now copied the disc version of Repton 3's Editor over the old tape copy thanks to reports from forum members about issues saving files. Remember to swap the disc for a blank one upon loading the editor and to make sure it is write-protected to avoid errors.
I never really played around with this BITD so I cannot confirm if the issues are related to the tape version or if it is emulation error. I would suspect the later though, given other games that have issues with file DFS under emulation!

BTW I have not touched the main game files as they contain the fungus bug fixed version.

regards,
Mick.

Do you mean "isn't" (rather than "is")?
