PC Disks from SynTax (2) Single disks cost œ2.50 or see the contributions section to know how to get one free! Please add œ1.00 to total cost outside UK/Europe to cover postage. Remember to state disk size required. Any games which require more than 1 disk are noted. From now on, it will be assumed that users have at least 1x3.5" HDD drive, VGA and a hard disk. If you don't, please enquire whether programs will run on your setup. Many games, especially the text adventures, will also run on the ST or Amiga using a PC emulator. Some programs are provided archived using PKZIP or similar. To unpack them: 1. Make a directory on your hard disk and copy all the files from the floppy disk(s) into it. 2. Change to the directory and type PKUNZIP *.ZIP. This will unpack all the zipped files in one operation. Remember too that some old programs may run too quickly on modern machines - if you get this problem, return the disk for exchange. Please note that any disks with WZ95 in brackets after their description require WinZip 95 or a similar 32-bit package, which unzips archived files while retaining the long file names, is required. This can be found on Disk 988 or you can send me a blank HD disk when you order and I'll provide a copy. @~New in this section this issue: The Inform archive on Disk 1082 has been updated with the addition of Inform 6.14 and more manuals, tutorials etc. It is now a 2-disk set and further files will be added as appropriate. New Inform games on Disk 1216 are The Lost Spellmaker, Sins against Mimesis, Mercy and A Week in the Life. WinTADS on Disk 1181 has been updated to v1.1.1 More TADS games have been added. Disk 1199 contains The Sea of Night, 2044 Stormtrooper and The Obscene Quest of Dr Aardvarkbarf which, as far as I can see, looks better than it sounds! Disk 1205 contains Losing Your Grip and Glowgrass. Disk 1211 has Frenetic Five, Zero Sum Game and Consider the Tortoise. Disk 1214 contains two utilities Colours and Z-CUT plus the games A Bear's Night Out, The Edifice, Travels in the Land of Erden: In Quest of Adventure and Zork: A Troll's Eye View. Disk 1215 contains the WinTADS version of Frenetic Five plus Babel (see also Disk 1212). There are some new AGiliTy games on Disk 1202 - E-Mailbox and Sir Ramic Hobbs and The Oriental Wok. Some confusion over Disks 1159 and 1160. I thought 1160 contained the Master AGT game, The Fable - dunno where I got that idea from! It actually appears to be an expanded version of The Detective which is also on Disk 1159. Wasn't sure where to put these: Disks 1210a/b are a 2 disk set containing Level 9 manuals, including scanned pix, and also one for Sherlock. As this is a service, the two disks are only œ2.00 in all. The manuals are in HTM format. Disk 1200 contains more Spectrum files but NO EMULATOR; they are The Boggit, Bored of the Rings, Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, Hampstead, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Return of the Joystick, Robin of Sherlock, Robin of Sherwood, Shadows of Mordor, Sherlock, The Big Sleaze, Colour of Magic, Very Big Cave Adventure. Bev sent SP Convert (convert Z80 and SNA files) and a new 128K Speccy Emulator called X128 Spectrum v0.71 and this has since been updated to v0.8; they are on Disk 1203 with UnPAW and UnQuill which should let you hack into their datafiles. @~The catalogue starts on the next page.
