DrGlipGlop Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Had the game "Snout of spout" sat in a draw for years and i could never find any information about it bar a small footnote in a magazine from decades ago; can anyone tell me much of anything about it ?

Add ti99 to the search, and it turns up a magazine wiki claiming it was reviewed in "Computer Gamer issue 1", which was apparently a british magazine in 1985.

Omega-TI Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hey, if the game is as cool as the packaging, I hope someone is able to find it so we can get it turned into an FR99/FG99 image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGlipGlop Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 That screenshot is from a forum post i made 5~ years ago elsewhere looking for information back then too and unfortunately the catalog has no info on it and i don't think has ever had it in stock . Im curious if it was ever in full release due to the tiny, tiny amount of information about it and the fact that near all sites i can find for Ti resources completely miss it out of the games list or it has no hyperlink to any information- i know it was early internet time but most other games i have come across have been archived 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGlipGlop Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 I do have a copy by the way if that was lost in the op. I am not willing to mail it anywhere (unless a sale maybe) but If anyone near the south coast of the UK (or anywhere but its your journey) wants to do that im more than happy to help facilitate getting it imaged and archived Hey, if the game is as cool as the packaging, I hope someone is able to find it so we can get it turned into an FR99/FG99 image.

ti99iuc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yeah, still we have a lot of stuff to rescue Omega, isn't it ? anyway also HiRes PDFs has been uploaded in the Docs page.I have to say that the game is not bad absolutely just a bit slow in XB on real machine, using Classic99 in CPU Overdrive mode it is e bit better and remembered me the gameplay of the Tursi one, Herox for the 4K contest. Maybe if someone be able to compile this game it could become a really nice and more playable game i guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Have you read instructions for loading included in the .zip ? it need CALL FILES (1) before to load Of course not! That would have been too easy! Got it now. I'm going to have to play with the docs a tad though, they are kind of small for my old eyes and print out rather dark on my laser printer. Should I send you a copy of the PDF when I'm done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I send you a copy of the PDF when I'm done? Yes, you're Right it is all so small in that papers... but the nice thing is that i scanned at 600dpi and you can have a nice quality of Zoom on the PC I always like to scan and keep images from original for an historical and conservative mission but if you will manage something usefull i will be happy to add to the download on the page of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not original, as I substituted a different cover page, but it prints up nicely in booklet form and I can read it.
