In Topic: Red Sea Crossing Wanted Flyer

Given the nature of the game and how it was (presumably) marketed, I'd suggest trying to get the flyer posted on bulletin boards at churches, religious schools, etc. Some places do publish newsletters and they may be willing to accept an "external" advertisement.

A similar approach may work to shake-loose copies of Music Machine, as that title was marketed to basically the same audience (albeit with more success).

The manual is bilingual. I have only seen this available in Canada, and I suspect that is mainly where it was sold.

I have never seen one myself, but the Simpsons-Sears sticker on the box is a clear indication that it was once sold in a Canadian "Sears" store.

In Topic: Joystick adapter for TRS-80 CoCo to use Atari joysticks?

Thu May 10, 2012 4:08 PM

IIRC, there was an article about this in Hot Coco, very probably in 1984...

The process involved cutting some traces on the Atari joystick circuit board and adding some resistors. I started to modify a stick, but my skills were not up to finishing the job.

As I recall, it does not work very well because the Coco normally has an analog joystick and the Atari joystick uses four directional switches. Basically it simulates a Coco joystick being at the extreme ends of the range (0 or 255 on each axis).

In Topic: C64 and Zork II - Internal error #3608

Tue May 8, 2012 10:20 AM

Check out The Interactive Fiction Archive
http://www.ifarchive.org/

Certainly the demo version of Zork I for the C64 is there: http://www.ifarchive...ocomXdemos.html


The DOS version of the whole trilogy was formally made available for free some years ago.

My collection is much smaller than most here (and the bulk of it is in storage):

Venture TV Sports (Pong)
Radio Shack TV Games (Pong)
Atari 2600 (6-switch, 4-switch, Jr., and Gemini)
Playstation (original model) + PSX NIB spare back-up
Playstation 2 (slim, sliver) + NIB (slim, black) spare back-up
PowerJoy Famiclone (2 different models)

Several TV games collections -- Namco, Atari, Activision, etc.
