Tim Love's Cricket (Peaksoft)

The CAS version in the Dragon Archive is broken, although the bug doesn't show up until after team selection and when you start the game itself. There is a WAV file here: http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/Tim_Loves_Cricket.zip I would advise converting this one to CAS and then replacing the old version...

Re: Astrology by Dragon Data

I seem to have got into the habit of: I take a scan of the full jacket, and all of the inlays, etc. Then I donate the WAV file to you guys and also upload my scans of the cover art and the tape. I think it seems to work quite well as you then have the information for your archives which are free, an...

IQ Test (Tiger Software)

Another one I've managed to successfully retrieve after about 15 passes. http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/I_Q_Test.zip This is a tape game by Tigersoft. Again the WAV files that are in the zip file are humungously big so if someone could convert them to CAS (and smaller WAV) this would be great! I.Q. ...

Astrology by Dragon Data

I managed to pick this up recently and have managed to create a working WAV file from it. Could someone convert it to CAS and add it to your archives please? You can probably get a much smaller WAV file than this too: http:/www.acornelectron.co.uk/Astrology.zip Astrology ========= Introduction -----...

Bombs Away Basil by Blaby Computer Games

Another .CAS file that seems to not work properly. This one shows the loading screen but not a lot else. I have two cassettes of this and have just created a WAV from both of them. Each of them has the same problem, again making me think that the transfers must be correct but Xroar doesn't work with...

Star Defence by Blaby Computer Games

I am having trouble playing this game on xRoar. The game loads ok, shows the title screen and then shows a list of the game keys and the message "Press SPACE To Start". Unfortunately, it does not respond to the press of the Space key. Both the version (.CAS) in the archives, and a version I make mys...

Re: Boulder Crash by Blaby

Ah yes, perfect, that explains in a single sentence something that has had me tearing my hair out throughout today. I *knew* that when I tested it, after I downloaded it about 7 months ago, it worked. It worked fine. I wandered around taking loads of screenshots of it and if there had been any weird...

Downland Cheat?

I've just spent an hour searching through old Dragon Users to see if a cheat exists for this game. However, with no luck. And nothing out there in Internet land either.

Does anyone have a cheat for this game? Infinite lives would be useful... ;-)

Boulder Crash by Blaby

This game, both .CAS and .WAV seems to behave very weirdly in xRoar. As I wander around dropping boulders, the man disappears and then odd things happen like the screen scrolling around on its own. Anyone else having such problems playing this? I may have an original tape of it to see if it's a bad ...

Re: Hooked by Shards

As is usual (for me), this is a large WAV file. If someone could convert it to a small CAS file and upload it here, that would be great.
