nothing happening here. Did I miss something?

 

TAC: Tactical Armor Command

 

couldn't find an entry for this game. A-Side has an CRC-error on sector 20. But the sector looks ok and the game starts. B-Side is blank. Afaik the game was released in Sep 1983 for XL after a ~May '83 release for Apple II.

I know I have some cassettes stored SOMEWHERE -- I remember finding a fairly odd tape in a thrift storage ages ago, with a few very simple games -- a knock-off Ad-Libs and something else.

Can you take a picture of this disk? Never heard of this. Probably rare.

I'm pretty sure it's a weird "public domain" disk.  I have no clue where it came from.  I did get a small batch of stuff mailed to me from someone in Germany years ago, when I was looking for the 8-bit MOD player, and I assume it was part of those disks...  I'll try to get to it this coming weekend!

Yes

We are doing a lot of work in the backend and thus a new release has to wait.

Thank you for the update, and all the hard work you have put into the project.

Here's Titan (prototype) unpublished by A.N.A.L.O.G. Software, disk courtesy of Lee Pappas and dumped by me.  Looks very pretty, semi-playable, but seems to have collision detection or no sound.  I may have another version on another disk, but am having trouble with my various disk readers today.

Got it! Here's an alternate version. My guess is this is an earlier version, because there are fewer different elements on the ground, and there is no shooting. Attn @Atarimania

Here's the development disk for Tom Hudson's "Adventure at Vendenverg A.F.B." It seems to have a couple of different versions as well as some dev tools. Disk courtesy of Lee Pappas and dumped by me. 

 

Here's the published version: https://archive.org/details/analog-computing-magazine-27/page/n74/mode/1up

I have LJK Letter Perfect V3.3 and dumped what I could with my 1050SA. The disks are not in great shape and will degrade quickly when read.  The 40 column side doesn't work but I got good copies of the 80 column side and the Printer Editor disk.

Here's a fun project for someone — I just dumped Sunday Driver from A.N.A.L.O.G. Software — I think it was unpublished? It may be unfinished?

 

The disk comes from Lee Pappas. I haven't figured out how to run it, if it can even be run. But it seems to include some source code.

The Sunday.obj file has the run address at $2E0 loaded with $0000, so it wont work. I changed it to $4000 but didn't do anything, just sat at a black screen instead of crashing. Haven't looked further.

That's incredible, I never imagined there was something left of these games!

I really hope something can be recovered.

 

No copy of ANALOG Adventure by any chance?

Not that I know of. I do have more disks from Lee to get through. The labels have fallen off of some of them, so they could be anything. But it's slow going because the disks are dirty and the media for each disk needs to be washed.

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I would be interested in buying any of the “ron kim” games for dynacom/ atari,  but i am searching for the original copies with their packaging. I haven’t found anything on ebay. Can someone help? Would be very appreciated if someone could share links for items to buy. Thanks

A few years ago I downloaded a zip file with over 2000 games on disk, cassette and cartidge. The name is something like atari8bitpreservedsoftware.zip with a date in the name. The file I have is from 2019. I think I found a link in this forum but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me and are there more recent files like this? 

Edited by tajvdz

Ok, so if I take the one from 2023-05-12 I have all previous files? 

 

I see that mine isn't there anymore. It has the date 2019-07-13 in it. The one on top has 2019-07-09 but is only 77.9 MB. Mine is much larger, about 900 MB.

 

Is it also possible to get to this download page from the atari8bit.net main site?
