It's specific released titles that I'm not able to find. Don't worry, I will continue looking.

Do you have any specific names?
If they are on World of SAM but with permission denied, then Andrew Collier should be able to provide you with screen shots.

I'm surprised that you're not still making your way through the FRED disks. :) Most of the SAM's programs and games were distributed through the various disk magazines.
Since you mentioned Fred...

Also does anyone volunteer to catalog Fred magazine contents? It would require filling a spreadsheet like this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Thus the result would look like this:

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... ue_id=3817

and this:

Nope. :) I've got plenty of text adventure archive projects to keep me busy... I could look at the SCAC (SAM Adventure Club) disks at some point, though. I've been working on extracting a lot of the content from those, anyway/

The vast majority of SAM software is on the Fred disks; so if you are serious about covering the SAM then they will be a major source of content.

That's s pity, but anything you can provide on the adventure club disks will I'm sure be much appreciated. Don't take any screens though until the new format is sorted with the filter. Thank you.

Loads of other stuff to go through before those. I'm working my way through the entries list, but with a lack of contributers it may take a while. It will happen when it happens. No rush.

[mention]Einar Saukas[/mention], I can do the cataloguing from this at some point. Does this give you enough information?

Actually we don't need so much information. A list of demos and full games included in each magazine issue would be enough. Like this:
