Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. I can't exactly remember if my Quix and Quix II games were actually based on another game called Qix, it was 16 years ago when I wrote them after all! I believe Wolfgang Haller has already sent you a copy of my MegaDisk compilation, which has both Quix games, also; Math!, Manic Mazes and Le Box.
My Review magazine disks also had games on them, but I have only managed to track down issue #2 (of 5), so if you'd like that too (in case Wolfgang hasn't already sent you it), just let me know.

Hi Ron, Sorry I can't help you in your search, but I'd be interested in seeing your Quix remakes - but can't find them on NVG. I started writing a version of QIX back around 1998 - the plan was to make it as "arcade perfect" as I could. Sadly, the combination of me being a lazy git - and having one or two other projects on the go, meant I never got around to finishing it! Come to think of it - I never finished any of the other projects either! I'm pretty sure I don't even have the sourcecode any more. :-( Knowing now that there was a version of QIX for the SAM I'd love to see what my "competition" would have been!! ;-) Cheers, Chris. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Stirling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 6:08 AM Subject: SAM Coupé - software request! Hi friends, my name is Ron Stirling, I used to program software and games for the SAM Coupé in the early nineties. My better known work was the SAM MegaDisk; which contained five games; Quix, Quix II, Manic Mazes, Math! and Le Box. I also created 5 issues of my fan magazine, Review, under the title of Vertex Software. I recently discovered the SimCoupé emulator program, and also the NVG ftp website, where I have located some of my work. It has been an absolute joy to play games that I wrote over fifteen years ago (and I haven't seen them since!), and I now wish to track down all my other work. I am still looking for all five issues of Review magazine, plus any games, graphics, programs or images that I may have created for other companies (like the Gold SAM Coupé logo for SamPaint). If you, or anyone you know, might be able to help me out, please do get back to me! Many thanks for your help!
