Games published in 1981

If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon was released in 1982 so why are some games listed as being published in 1981? That may be the year they were first published for the CoCo, but shouldn't the Wiki list when the Dragon versions were published?

Re: Uploading CAS, WAV or VDK files

To clarify, does this mean that the Wiki and this site's downloads section are treated as separate entities?

Re: Broken Dragon

I have a Dragon 32 with an issue 3 power board - (is there any way of checking which issue of the motherboard it is?) You may wish to look at this site http://www.studio68.no/surveys/dragon/default.asp . If you click on the various links you will find information on how to identify the boards. Many...

Re: Book: Dragon Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner

Thank you for this. I may own the book myself but it's always useful to have a PDF as well, especially since you've made it searchable.

Re: Subcategories for Games

Returning to this topic after a few months I notice that games now have their genre noted in the info boxes on their respective entry pages. Is the intention that these genres will eventually be clickable and by clicking on a genre you will be taken to a page that lists all entries for that genre? I...

Re: Vintage Computer Festival @ Bletchley Park - 19th & 20th Jun

a few gentle puzzle games should be included - if only I could think of some good examples. ' I always find Trekboer a nice chilled puzzler (but that may be because I know it off by heart!). But Trekboer is an adventure game, I'm not sure if Simon wants one person sitting in front of a Dragon for a...

Re: Vintage Computer Festival @ Bletchley Park - 19th & 20th Jun

These aren't so much game suggestions, but rather genre suggestions. From the list I see that currently it is mostly platformers and shoot-em-ups, perhaps a few two player sporting or fighting games, and maybe a few gentle puzzle games should be included - if only I could think of some good examples...

Re: Klartz And The Dark Forces - Loading Problems

Thanks Ciaran. It's rather unusual to find a loader that does not also clear memory. I've given it a few tests and it seems you can get away with PCLEAR 2.

Klartz And The Dark Forces - Loading Problems

I cannot get this site's copy of "Klartz And The Dark Forces" (Dungeon Software - Klartz And The Dark Forces.zip in the tapes/cas section) to run. The loading screen is a success but it hangs before the game starts, has anyone else had better luck?
