Attached below is a copy of the game Fairground Fantasy by Abrasco. This version of the game has been slightly modified to fix a bug. This title is already in the archive, but is marked as being underdumped.

Loading instructions:
(1) Enter 'CLOAD' and wait for the first program to load.
(2) Enter 'RUN' and wait for the next two parts to loaded automatically.
(3) When the program finally exits with OK at the command prompt, enter 'RUN'.

Here is a further improved version of the game.

Changes made to this version:

* Size optimized the game code to help save memory and optimize game speed
* Greatly improved keyboard response by adding Steve Woolham's Speedkey routine
* Added X=RND(-TIMER) to make each new game as random as possible
* Added forced string space garbage collection to help maintain optimum game speed
* Replaced the check for value 255 at memory location 32767 with a more reliable solution

Note: Once you have memorized the instructions for playing the game, you can bypass the loading instructions and load the game directly every time you want to play the game. To load the game directly: Enter CLOAD"GAME", then enter RUN when the game has finished loading.

God damn, that's so much better...! The game is still the worst game on the Dragon I've ever played though.

You've never tried anything from the Cascade Cassette 50?

No, funnily enough I haven't picked up the Cassette 50 tape yet - so I still have this to "look forward to"...!

I got that one and I'm trying to get a clean cas file.

If you're talking about the Cascade Cassette 50 then the archive has copies of both sides of the tape, though both images are labelled as 'u'. I don't know why they are labelled 'u' but if they have shortened leaders then parsing them through XRoar should fix the problem. I will attempt this within the next day or so.
