I have a few others (that aren't necessarily PC-centric), but you'll have to wait until I unpack my collection at the end of August. I'm in the process of moving. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Leonard [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] A quick question while we're waiting While we're waiting for a few more people to join the list before we really get going, I thought I'd toss this out: I'm writing a feature article for MobyGames that documents all (or as many as I can find) audio cassettes that came with software packages. Not 8-bit computer data cassettes, but tapes that you can pop into a stereo and listen to. Some had title themes, some had tutorials, and some were audio clues to text adventures. Either way, they're all cool. :-) The article is IBM PC-centric, but most of the games that contained audio cassettes came out for that platform (or only that platform). The article will talk about each tape/game as well as providing a low-bitrate recording of each tape so that people can hear what they sounded like. I have complete recordings so far of: Homeword (Apple II-specific instructions -- looking for PC version!) (not a game, but is a Sierra product so I'm covering it anyway :-) The American Challenge Sub Mission The President Is Missing Corruption Starglider II Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0 Carrier Command Loom The Sierra Lounge My questions: 1. Does anyone know of any more? I know of The Halley Project (Tom Snyder Productions), but I don't have a recording of it. 2. Does anyone have any tapes that I don't have? Tony Van made me copies of the Tom Snyder stuff, and C.E. Forman was kind enough to lend me President (thanks Chris!), but I'd be very grateful to anyone who could make me copies of any tapes I don't have so that the article can be as complete as possible. If you have a player only but no recorder, then a 16-bit .WAV file of the entire thing uploaded to my private FTP site would really help the article.
