Re: Little bugs in the database 6

I just noticed that the YouTube video in the entry for The Bard's Tale is apparently from a 2022 version. If you go to the YouTube page it says: This is an updated 2022 version made by Monsters Productions and Tiboh, and it has these changes: - Intro converted from C64 by Tiboh. - The game is conver...

Re: Atari 400 Mini

Thanks @Pobulous,

So the PMGs (I think that's the phrase Atari use) are colour independent of the normal mode restrictions?

Re: Atari 400 Mini

I'm with you there Pobulous . I can understand the appeal of the C64 Maxi, and Amiga Maxi (If it appears), but not the mini ones. As a slight aside, from a BASIC programming perspective I've never had a huge amount of love for the Atari 8bit range. To get anymore than 5 colours on screen at one time...

In the documentation he thanks the author of Classic99 (and others) for their contributions and support, so I'm guessing everything is tickety-boo.

I may well be wrong, but I don't think there is a PC version? It runs via the Classic99 emulator.

Or update the latter entry to multi-language. I assume the Next version would need it's own entry anyway? Regarding the Spectrum version, I suppose it depends if these changes justify a new entry. I've no strong feelings either way. An attempt has been made to improve the literature, correct bugs, ...

Re: Little bugs in the database 6

There seems to be a lot of 1K ZX81 programs which have machine type '16K ZX81'.

For example:

I'm happy to create a list of IDs if it would help.
