Hi,
Does anybody have a copy of Owain Cole's Java port of his version of
Super Foul Egg to hand? I can't track it down on the web anymore.
Alternatively, does anybody have Owain's contact details to hand?

Name of the game wanted

vic8...@gmail.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2008 09:11:20 UT

Hi,
I am looking for the name of an old BBC model B game.
Here is what I remember about it:
It is 2D block moving game.
It was written mostly in BBC Basic with some assembler parts.
At the start of the game the screen was randomly filled with the
bricks and the several small creatures (small squares with a cat face

Heroes. I think it's 320x200, but you may want to try adding
-2 to the run line in the !Run file.
Penguin command 800x600 x 16bbp or 32bpp depending on the
mode you start it in.
Rock dodger 640x480x16bpp
Rocks and Diamond and xu4 run in a window so it shouldn't matter.

Repton levels past and present

groups...@googlemail.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2008 20:45:11 UT

We're hoping to collect a definitive repository of Repton levels
created for any version of Repton that's been released for Acorn and
RISC OS computers over the years. These would be freely available to
anybody and on a webpage. If anybody has any - and people here have
wanted to share them over the years - please could you now get in

New C64-games on DT#83 (Frodo/VICE)

ausserstor...@mail.com (Alex' A. Interrants) — Sat, 08 Aug 2008 06:23:05 UT

Hi,
new native games for RISC OS are very rare. So I thought it's not a bad
idea to inform you about new C64-games. The DT-crew released now a new
issue of Digital Talk (a German disc magazine - it appears since 1993)
which contains some new games / previews (some of them are in English
language) which you can play by VICE or FRODO:

Darkwood

groups...@googlemail.com — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:53:52 UT

Has anybody got Darkwood to work under Aemulor Pro on the iyonix? I
get SWI&47E5A not known.
The SWI not known message seems common to several games run on the
Iyonix. Could anybody point me towards the StrongEd manuals page and
possibly suggest if this is fixable?

Re: Foundation RISCWorld Volume 9 Issue 2

No games column this time? I thought this would be RiscWorld and FRU
combined. Even Acorn User following the acquisition of ArcWorld
managed this for at least for a few issues.

What open source games do people want?

groups...@googlemail.com — Sun, 07 Jul 2008 19:20:18 UT

RISC OS has done quite well out of the open source movement in recent
years not least in terms of games. So what do people want? If not
specific titles then what types of games?

A new (old) Repton Game

m...@removethisred-squirrel.com (Matthew Thompson) — Wed, 07 Jul 2008 17:36:59 UT

It would appear that a Repton game for the BBC Micro has been
unearthed, it is called Repton : The Lost Realms and apparantly was
originally going to be Repton 4 but then it never happened and was
shelved.It was shown at a recent Retro Games event and hopefully this
will see the light of day as a BBC Micro release.

Prime Solver Anyone?

r...@robheaton.co.uk (Robert Heaton) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:45:40 UT

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has a copy of Prime Solver up for sale, I
remember playing it in school. I know it was made by a company called
Minerva, however their site has gone, and I can't find anywhere
selling it.
I managed to find a demo version on the web, however I need more!!!
Cheers,
Rob.
