Re: Tano Dragons

Thanks guys. I have two New Tano in America- picked em up a couple of years back, but shipping was a bit prohibitive and the guy who picked them up for me is a bit disorganised. I have another incoming from a more reliable source (I hope). If I ever get the other two over here cheaply I will offer o...

Tano Dragons

Can I ask how one would go about setting up a Tano dragon? I am sure I have read it before on here, but can't seem to find the threads. Do you need a step down, or can a regular UK PSU work? Do they have a monitor output socket at the back a la the UK Dragons? My current Dragon uses the monitor port...

Re: My 'arcade games' disk - VDK

Are Canyon Climber, Pooyan, Aerial Attack available in WAV form anywhere? I have to admit I thought Pooyan was only on the Co-Co.

Re: Stuff found

According to Microdeal's UK release inlays, both Space Wreck and Module Man work with the SSC. Sadly I missed out on one of these on ebay a year ago, so cannot confirm.

Ported Dragon Games

Apologies if this has been raised before. Just wanted to point out for those into the gaming side of things that I have recently discovered Module Man, which to my knowledge was only released on the Dragon and CoCo, has been ported to the Colecovision console some thirty years later, and is included...

Re: New screens for old games

This is lovely! Well done.
There are a fair few games that have poor loading screens (many of the the Microdeal ones spring to mind). Mind you there are a few games (not written by anyone here I hasten to add) where the loading screen was the best thing about them. :D

Re: Can anyone explain the prices of 2nd hand software?

I suspect in the TWA case that the problem is many copies have simply died. Microdeal and Dragon data tapes seem to invariably play 20 years later. Other companies' efforts, notably Design Design, Blaby and Quickbeam, seem to keel over in a slight breeze. I don't know much about the physical composi...
