No, its thank you- and of course Sixxie for the wonderful X roar online. I even got to waffle on a bit about the Dragon itself, old computing generally, and Microsoft BASIC- the pupils could relate to a lot of the history as we are close to Fforestfach, which is home to a big Tesco, so most know the...

Sorry to necro this thread. Just wanted to say that I showed a whole bunch of year 7's and 8s some retro gaming on the Dragon today, and Flagon Bird went down a total storm. :D I have a lovely picture of an entire y8 class playing it, and one in the attachment in close up that I can show as I have p...

Well I will bite.
Looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads up. will have to dig out my old PAL crt

Super. Time is not an issue for me. I would just be delighted to add another Dragon game to the collection, they don't come along too often. It is a lovely idea to do an inlay. I still don't have a physical disk-drive, and still enjoy loading from tape. Is there a signed for first class price? Is it...

May I ask if there are any of these left, and if so are they still the same price?
I must have missed this thread. Reading apparently is not my strong point....

This encouraged me to dig mine out and load it up for the first time in years. The game is stupidly hard, I had forgotten hpw dificult it was. I recall enjoying it when cheating all those years ago. Incidentally, my version must be late, as despite the correct Cable packaging on the outside, the cas...

Looking forward to having a go at this. I sadly missed out on playing the recent Hobbit (I have not used emulation since the late 90's/early naughties and don't have a disk drive :oops: ) but I think its fabulous that there are still dedicated people producing Dragon (and Tandy) software. I will be ...

I have about 250 odd original tapes (including duplicates), and my fail rate is under 4%. It is often the tape player- I have found that switching to a modern upright tape player sometimes does the trick where the traditional type fails. Lots of Dragon games came with 2 or more copies on, so be cert...

Below is a wave file created from the misnamed "Buzzard Bait (1984)(Microdeal)[cr].zip" found in http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archive/index.php?dir=Tapes/Dragon/cas/Microdeal/ it has been tested in XRoar but not yet on a real Dragon. Unlike the other cracks, this version retains the "Tom Mix" l...

I see. How does that work vis-a-vis Cashman, Demon seed and all the other super long loaders around 84/5? Were they ever dongled at any point prior to release? Or was it just a case of using the format so that they could introduce the dongle to everything at a later date? BB really was great- FWIW I...
