Re: Shanghai
Hi Aley (and everyone else), If this was on a tape file, it's probably the version of Shanghai that was given away on a Your Sinclair cover tape with issue 84, where the game was credited to Franxoft on the cover tape pages. I think they probably changed the name to avoid offence.Simon Cooke was writing for Your Sinclair at the time, so perhaps he may be able to confirm this. Who knows, they may have got Simon to make the change!

Hi everyone. Long time no speak. I've received an email from a SAM owner who is looking to sell his setup. Is there anyone on the list who knows of anybody who may be interested in obtaining a 512k SAM with various items of software? If so, please let me know and I'll forward details on. While I'm here, can anyone tell me if they have heard any news about SAM community. I've not been to the web site for ages, and once again I was contemplating obtaining a copy of the newsletter for myself. Alas! The website has vanished. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help, Regards, Stewart Skardon web : http://www.sam-coupe.co.uk
A couple of questions
Hello everyone. Long time no speak. Just been mucking around with my SAM for the first time in ages, and I was just thinking about the Atom. Can anyone answer some questions for me: 1) How much is an Atom interface, and where can I get one? 2) How easy is it to install? Also, while I think of it, can anyone tell me what the current copyright status is on many of the SAMs games, as I would like to try and contacting individuals about including some of them on my website. Thanks in advance, Stewart
Website update and IRC question
Hi All, Things have been pretty quiet here, so I just thought that I would mention that I have managed to update my website slightly. I hope to be able to carry out a larger update this weekend. As always, if you see any errors, please let me know. Secondly, I was wondering if anyone goes on #sam-users on IRC anymore. I've spent the last couple of nights waiting for hours to chat with someone. Regards, Stewart
