Re: Animated Tunes by Orange Software

Rally must be one of the most irritating games in the world. Starts off with some of the best monochrome graphics I've ever seen. But I can't get off the first screen. Typing instructions into it takes an age and the responses flash by in a second. Did anyone get any further than the first location?...

Re: Larkspur Waldorf

Hmmm, I've been strugging to play both of these today. They load finally which is brilliant but I don't know what the aim of the mission is or what I am supposed to do.

Does anyone have the instructions on how to play them?

Dragon Micropaedia Part 2 From Personal Computer News

I thought I'd give a quick shout out to this site (Yes, it is one of my own!) as I have just created a electronic version of a range of Dragon 32 articles first published in 1983. There are quite a range of them but the first is here: http://www.personalcomputernews.co.uk/pcna/html/028/personal_comp...

Does Anyone Have... Fembot's Revenge?

Not sure how many Dragon officiandoes read Retro Gamer but there's a fascinating retrospective on the CoCo this issue and amongst the games pictures is Fembot's Revenge, which got me thinking about whether there is a Dragon conversion of it. There is! But the version here doesn't seem to work, unles...

Castle Blackstar by SCR

I bought this - for £40! - from retrogames.co.uk a few months ago. Curiously, the tape and inlay are for the Spectrum, with "Dragon 32" printed out on a dot-matrix printer and then pritt-sticked over the Spectrum moniker. It's difficult to tell whether the game is a labour of love project undertaken...

Animated Tunes by Orange Software

Hello, I recently bought a few things from eBay and amongst them was a disc (5.25") labelled Animated Tunes by Orange Software. I can't find it on-line but I lack a PC here with a 5.25" disc drive (and actually I don't know how I would get it from the disc to a VDK image or equivalent). Anyone here ...

Re: Does Anyone Have... The Great Fish Van Scandal?

I must have been wrong about this one. Having looked through the games I've dumped I don't appear to have it either.

Does Anyone Have... Happy Birthday Dragon?

This is a Dragon Data tape that I imagine is not particularly rare. It just contains three basic games. However, the version on the site doesn't seem to load all three games. Does anyone have a working version?

Re: Shape Up by Dragon Data

Shape-Up ======== Shapes are important in geometry. This program deals with some simple shapes - the square, circle, triangle and oblong. The aim is to recognise and sort them. As we move through the games we first sort the shapes, and then make the point that the same shape can come in different si...

Shape Up by Dragon Data

I picked this up on eBay a few days ago. However it seems as if a small portion of the cassette is corrupted. Side A shows the loading screen then craps out, Side B craps out as the loading screen is loading. Here's wavs of both sides. Hopefully someone can splice the two together and make a working...
