AuTomato Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I was perusing eBay and found this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Manual-Cassette-Program-for-Dow-4-Aircraft-Corp-TI99-4A-Home-Computer-/302192086151?hash=item465c0d4c87:g:LnsAAOSwGYVW8sKa It appears to be a combination instruction manual/flight sim for the Dow-4 Gazelle. I can find a couple of sparse references to it in some software lists, but I haven't seen anywhere that it's been dumped or preserved.

Keatah Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Pretty damned rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Well... not so rarer but anyway a good price for it. the seller looking to sell this since one year at least without success. I seen this title 5 o 6 times on ebay listed anyway i never seen it with title handwrite. (Eng) - Dow-4 Gazelle - (1982) - (B) - (by John T Dow).zip Edited February 3, 2017 by ti99iuc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Neither the cassette nor the manual are original. The manual is a photocopy and the cassette is a 90-minute standard cassette. The cover should be on stiff cardstock too, not paper. . .I have an original manual (and cassette too). They are not rare at all, as a lot of these were sold BITD. The manual shows up on eBay five to six times a year (from different sellers), the cassette much less so, maybe once or twice a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What's really rare here is the person that gives a damn about this sort of thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now i understand, it is a copy... now i explain the hadwritten label and now that you write it... i can see the effective photocopied manual... bah...

Keatah Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) A similarly package/styled program for the Apple II series.. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=a2-fs1&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=60107-6692&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=10&_dmd=1&_ipg=200&LH_Complete=1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-2-A2-FS1-Flight-Simulator-Sublogic-1980-/131417857120?hash=item1e991d5c60:g:~7sAAOSwmrlUzUAy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-APPLE-II-Computer-Game-FLIGHT-SIMULATOR-I-II-by-Sublogic/351962492495?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D42fa0d6270c7405186b35850be7e1695%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131417857120 ..we see prices of actual trades/sales coming in at around $100 on average, though I've seen it move at close to $150 in the past. And A2-FS1 is more widely known and much more readily available. Availability on a website doesn't affect the value either.
