found it. Adventure for atari 2600 disassembled and well-commented here: http://www.sproat.net/jeremy/atari2600/adventur.asm Very cool. It still never ceases to amaze me how they fit such an awesome game into 4K. It is simply incredible. -- -- Howa

Here we go, should be self-explanatory. If I find adventure (a much more interesting game...) I'll send that too Dan Chisarick wrote: > > 1) Yes I'd like to see it > 2) Is it the original code or is it annotated disassembly made by > someone else? > ;From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Harry Dodgson) ;Ne

Re: [SWCollect] Mt. Drash cassette and market value

I don't know if there's any pattern to what I will shell out for. I wouldn't pay much for Mt. Drash, Akalbeth or a shrinkwrapped 'saucer' box. I just can't see myself doing anything with them other than putting them on a shelf. I've tried the "Pokemon" strategy (gotta catch/get them all) i

9:18 PM Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Mt. Drash cassette and market value OK, now you have me curious. I acquired this about 10 years ago... I assumed it was some early ZUG map, but maybe not. Is this similar to the "map" you are talking about? In any case, does anyone recognize it

Aye karumba. Looks like that Vic auction lasted just 3 hours too! I fail to understand how people find these things so fast. Personally I can't afford to search eBay more than once a week.. Personally I don't believe in the collectibility of disks/tapes, I go for the manuals/boxes mostly - afte

Re: [SWCollect] Mt. Drash cassette and market value

Yup, $765 is kinda pricey. Anyone have $100 and a time machine? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3064724973&category=3544 I'll let you all have a moment of silence to kick yourselves... Steve PS - As for the NEW owner of the Drash I do believe I saw him around here somewhere..
