Wac Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi all, I just won myself an Atari 800XL with 1050 Disk Drive from eBay ! It's been awhile since I've owned an Atari but am looking forward to the good old times again. Does anyone know where the best place is to get games on disk ? I'm in the UK so anywhere UK based would be best ... Thanks guys, looking forward to chatting to you all ! All the best, Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starraider Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I would say Ebay is a good start as you can find many games there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariusz Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Better way (read - much cheaper) is to buy a SIO2PC cable and look for some software on internet, then you can write on to discs whatever you want! (many polish games are freeware so you don't have to take care about copyrights ) Here are links with game's archive http://vjetnam.hopto.org/atari/ or http://people.freenet.de/mrbacardi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 You might want to contact the Cheshunt Computer Club, as well. I understand that they have a few 8-bitters left amongst their members, and I'm sure they could help you build up your FD library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon-paul Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 http://www.dgs.clara.net/ About the only comercial source i know for floppies (public domain software) Other sources, E-bay is your best bet unless you know other Atari-8 bit users and can form a swap ring (like i have done with a fella i work with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon-paul Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 hmm found these in my favorites as well.
