Whether it's Mire Mare or a BASIC tape you found in the attic, it needs to be preserved digitally. Post here and experts can help to do so.

Several games from Marco & Tito

Post by Andre Leao »

From a tape Marco borrowed us, we preserved some very old games. Marco & Tito were responsible for Alien Evolution, among other games...

Thanks for preserving it. It's really a big lot of Basic games.
Maybe today they aren't so impressive but I guess each of us in the 80s being 10 years old would be proud if he created something like that :)

Indeed! I have just seen it :)

BY the way, as you are in contact with Marco and Tito, could you please confirm that the database information is correct, regarding a handful of titles they supposedly did and were published in 1984 in the UK by Wizard Software??

Yes Ivan, it is right. Those games from Wizard were written by Marco. We're still looking for it, not even Marco has the games. By coincidence, the tape where all these MIA's were recorded, has a sleeve from Wizard. Still a MIA, but at least the sleeve is already preserved...

Wow! How did they manage to contact Wizard in the UK and get them publish their games in just 1984?? :O
