Re: 6809 Express

Could this be the one ? (CLOADM, then EXEC to run the game)

Kind regards,

Re: Problem

Looks like "PAINTER.BIN" (extracted to a ".CAS" file from my "ARCAD05B" virtual disk) just won't work in plain "Dragon 32" emulation (tried this in both 0.21 & 0.22 releases, and it crashed every time). I don't have any idea why. So you will need to run it under "DragonDOS" emulation - works fine un...

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

... Here it is!

And just in case you should ever need the m/c vectors in order to re-save this game, these are as follows : 15520, 32440, 15520

(CLOADM / EXEC to load, then run, the game ; running this game in "DOS" mode requires running UNBOOT first)

Best regards,
Lionel

Re: Best Dragon 32 platformers?

In my case, the first ones that spring to mind would be:

Screaming Abdabs
Chuckie Egg
Buzzard Bait

All quite difficult, but so well made and addictive...

I personally never enjoyed the Beanstalker/Lode Runner kind of games so much.

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

It's also available on one of my "Arcade" disks. Can't tell which one, though, but this should be easy to find out.

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

No, I don't think there ever was any official Dragon release for this game. But this is not too surprising either : you'd be amazed at the number of games that were available in the USA for the Co-Co, but that never made it to Europe. Just think that Microdeal released only part of the famous "Tom M...

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

Could be this one? http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archive/index.php?dir=Disks/SnarkHunter/&file=ARCAD03B.vdk Yes, that's the one! Please note that, in order to run this game, you need to: - Open the proper ".VDK" file first (cf above), - Then load the game (i.e. LOAD "ZAXXON.BIN" ) - Then RUN "UN...

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

Hi, Does anyone know if the "Official Zaxxon"-game, made by Steve Bjork for the CoCo was ever converted to Dragon format? Couldn't tell for sure, but I used to have a conversion of this game running on my Dragon, though it could just have been the Co-Co version. If I remember well, it should be on ...

Re: Return of the Ring

Thanks to the link provided by Alastair yesterday, I could load this game, then start a new game. I couldn't get very far, though : after finding a transporter that did not required any pass, I pressed a key when instructed to do so, then "inserted" the 3rd part of the tape... and it loaded forever...

Re: Return of the Ring

After retrying once more this evening, and with the "revised" files, it appears that the "Moon" part of the game crashes right away after loading : sudden garbage (text mode) all over the screen & "Moon" was loaded from file "return.cas"...
