The 128K version was only for people who bought the physical version - it should not be available for download anywhere.

What could 'Additional File Downloads' be? I'm not really sure what it could be, lol.

Hehe. Pav will mean that rather fine inlay with Oliver Frey's artwork, and a readme.txt.

I have this cassette, (but not the Vallation128 underpants). I'll scan & type up later.

Hmm. I think the screenshots on the insert should be from the C64 or CPC version. In keeping with the tradition. :D

There really isn't necessary. I have sent them to Einar already. ;-)

It's too late for the cassettes already made, but the loading screen gets overwritten by the 'Bytes:' message. Needs a good dose of POKE 23739,111 :oops:

Yeah, I know. That totally slipped my mind and I'm equal parts embarrassed and annoyed over it :oops:

Could be worse: imagine burning a commercial era arcade coin-op like R-Type and repeating one of the levels :shock:

Anyway, you've already redeemed yourself by fixing SQIJ.

The cassette versoin hasn't sold very well though. Terribly in fact. I wonder why? ... could it be the legacy of the original?

Anyway, I've just spent a couple of days this week fixing more SQIJ btw - this time the arcade version.
It works perfectly in MAME, but MAME doesn't emulate the hardware 100% - only enough, so you're not sure it works perfectly in a cab before it's been burned onto chips and tried on a real JAMMA PCB. SQIJ didn't work 100% - there were 4 issues, but hopefully I've been able to fix them. I'll know later this weekend. Looking forward to being able to call SQIJ completely done 8-)
