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. I think I've picked up quite a good example - it came with 9 cassettes, a bunch of user group magazines, advertisements, original box and dealer manuals. It ...

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.
