Weird Computer Games (Book)

Not sure where to upload this - it's 25MB which is giving the board some grief.

I found this book on the web somewhere, not sure if it's of interest to anyone. Attached are the BASIC programs contained in it - four of them are a bit crap, but Flying Witches is actually pretty fun. I made one or two small tweaks to that one.

If anyone wants the PDF (which obviously contain the instructions for the games as well as the code), just let me know where to put it.

Cheers.

You can always put large files in the public area/folder of one of the free online file storage services (SkyDrive, Dropbox, etc) and post a link here.

Ok will do.

Somehow, the Flying Witches cas file doesn't actually contain the version of the program that I tweaked. That's annoying... because I don't know what's happened to my version.

Bah!!!!

Here's the book itself.

Looks like I'll be re-tweaking Witches since my previous effort is lost.

It is... I download stuff from it all the time (free version).. er... probably shouldn't say that. :D

Maybe the admins want to move the book into the WoD archive? Not sure if it's Dragon specific enough for inclusion there but I posted it here just in case people found it interesting.
