Infocom game images

[Wrathchild]

Hi,

 

(posted to comp.sys.atari.8bit but useful to put here too)

 

"I've been checking the atr/dcm images available via XlSearch and

have found that a good proportion of the games are corrupted, bad

bytes/missing sectors etc.

 

Checksums are OK for:

 

HOLLYWOOD HIJINX

INFIDEL

LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS

PLUNDERED HEARTS

STATIONFALL

SPELLBREAKER

SUSPECT

SUSPENDED

WISHBRINGER

ZORK I

ZORK III

ZORK II

ENCHANTER

CUTTHROATS

SEASTALKER

BALLYHOO

 

But:

 

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

Checksum bad! actual checksum = 1ac4, required checksum = 2235

THE LURKING HORROR

Checksum bad! actual checksum = fbda, required checksum = fb9c

THE WITNESS

Checksum bad! actual checksum = ea1d, required checksum = 1334

PLANETFALL

Checksum bad! actual checksum = d343, required checksum = 13f4

DEADLINE

Checksum bad! actual checksum = 5447, required checksum = 548d

Moonmist

Checksum bad! actual checksum = f3cb, required checksum = b5af

STARCROSS

Checksum bad! actual checksum = 5e30, required checksum = 5e70

SORCERER

Checksum bad! actual checksum = e7d6, required checksum = e7ac

 

For example: Sector 36 of Witness disk 2 is missing.

 

Can people supply me other images of the above games for checking.

 

Many thanks,

 

Mark"

 

2 additional points:

 

1) Certainly worth checking before these go into cart images!

2) I found the Witness error by comparing against a C64 disk image.

The Z-code is naturally identical so I may just take the C64 images instead.

 

Finally, my proposals for what goes on what cart are (0.5MByte each):

 

Fantasy 1

WISHBRINGER

ZORK I

ZORK II

ZORK III

 

Fantasy 2

ENCHANTER

SORCERER

SPELLBREAKER

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

 

SciFi

STARCROSS

SUSPENDED

PLANETFALL

STATIONFALL

 

Adventure

INFIDEL

SEASTALKER

CUTTHROATS

HOLLYWOOD HIJINX

 

Mystery

DEADLINE

The WITNESS

SUSPECT

BALLYHOO

 

Misc

LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS

THE LURKING HORROR

MOONMIST

PLUNDERED HEARTS

 

Although HHG is SciFi, it can't fit there - so is moved to Fantasy2.

It mabe better to have HHG on 'Misc' and Plundered Hearts on F2

as PH is Romance, a bit closer to Fantasy, but I felt that HHG

is more of a classic and deserved the promotion. There's also a

little space on F1 and so another z3 game could be squeezed on,

like Mini-Zork. Let me know what you think.

 

Regards,
