Colour Genie

As part of another retro gaming project I have been involved in (www.personalcomputernews.co.uk), I decided to buy a second hand Colour Genie.

Again, sorry about that. I had to do a number of transfers of the game until I got one to work and somehow it looks like a dodgy side A got renamed as the working Side B. It's really useful to upload them in this way though because it means that the disasters go get caught - before I've sold the ori...

Re: Number Puzzler by Dragon Data

Again, my notes say that the .CAS file doesn't work properly. If someone would convert this WAV to CAS and replace the original CAS that would be great.

Instructions are: Dragon Games And Graphics ========================= Introduction ------------ This tape contains t...
