These games do look intriguing!

Nice that they were preserved!

Good playable clone of Stone Age (https://www.mobygames.com/game/stone-age)

WOW ! What a coincidence, this is incredible ! We never knew about this game when we made the first Dundley game ! And it seems these games are pretty similar !

There is also Slab Age by THD (missing in ZXDB): https://www.thd.ru/projects/games/slabage/
Its re-coloured version for ATM2 is included in NedoOS, sources: http://nedoos.ru/svn/listing.php?repnam ... b089280a0f

I am absolutely convinced I played this before. Is it new?

[ionut76]

It is new for the community, but old for me, it was made in 1993.

I believe we have Slab Age here:

It would be really incredible.
Maybe you have seen Stone Age for a moment (at friend having Amiga or something like that), forgot it but it remainded in your subconsciousness?
Otherwise it would be pure magic

[ionut76]

It is pure magic, at that time, in 1993, we had no idea about Atari etc., we knew about Commodore 64. In fact, up to these days, I never saw an original Spectrum, Commodore or Atari, just the romanian computers.

Please tell me how to upload the TRD file in Spectaculator ?
The Dundley idea came after we played Sokoban, a friend of mine, Mihai, had an obsession for this game, so it came Dundley 2, but first we made Dundley 1 to learn how to code. Both games were written in Basic and compiled with Hi-Basic (I am not sure about the name).

[ionut76]

I saw the game, it is and it is not similar to our game, but looks nicer !

You mean how to open it?
It's very standard thing, just double click on the file in Windows or drag it into emulator or use "open" from menu.
In most cases it would be enough.

In harder cases, TRD is a disk image. You open it in emulator and it usually autoruns some program from the disk but not always.

If autorun doesn't work:
- open the disk anyway
- go to Tr-Dos
- type LIST to get a list of files on the disk
- type RUN "MYGAME" where MYGAME is a name of your file.

Or did you mean something else?

[ionut76]

no no, i managed to open and saw/play the game
