etownandy Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm back to reading old newsletters. BB&P always published Tips from the Tigercub. I'm wondering if the "full disk collections" are available somewhere. These had the titles: Tigercub's Best Programming Tutor Programmer's Utilities Brain Games Brain Teasers Brain Busters Maneuvering Games Action Games Two-Player Games Kid's Games More Games Word Games Elementary Math Middle/High School Math Vocabulary and Reading Musical Education Kaleidoscopes and Displays I suspect (I may even remember reading as such) that they were eventually in the Peterson PD Collection. But it's hard to tell what's on these ~600 disks as far as I can make out. Any leads would be welcome. I play with the PD disks from time to time, but would really like to look at what was in these specific "Tigercub Full Disk Collection" disks.

etownandy Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Well, they are if they were added to the PD Collection. But if that's the case, they're very hard to find. If I look at the disk catalog text file, I see, for example, three titles with "Music Education" (named #1, #2, and #3) but with no authors after the titles. "Brain Busters" yields no results. So I'm now starting to question if the full disk collections themselves were released into the PD library or if programs were lifted and put on other compilation disks in the library. But it's also entirely possible I'm in the wrong place. I poked around, and all I found was: https://ftp.whtech.com/emulators/pc99/tigercub/ I did do a recursive search of the site before I asked FWIW.

klrw111-78 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 A quick visual scan of the CYC pdf in the tigercub directory appears to have the author names listed in the description of each disk. If that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etownandy Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Right, that's just the problem. . There were multiple (numbered) Brain Games but I don't know if I can assume #1 is the one that was originally offered for sale. The author names don't help, because Peterson wrote a lot of PD stuff himself. The "Full Disk Collections" contained 5 or 6 of his copyrighted programs and then he filled the disk with PD material in the same general category. It was worth a try. Thanks!
