Paxman: Backpackers/Krakatoa

Post by Frankie »

I’m confused. Got this DJ release which incl. the two Paxman inlays of Krakatoa and Backpackers Guide to the Universe, and only one tape with one game on each side. Am I missing something, as I can’t find infos about it? According to the database they are only listed as each being re-released by Paxman on their own, but not together.

Should this not be included in the Database? If I’m right, and it isn’t already included, would it need its own TZX file?

Maybe its just me overlooking something, would not be the first time :D

Could someone get back to me on this one? Should it be preserved, or just have the information about the release added :)

I don't think there is need for a TZX (there is nothing special about them is there?).

Can't help on the release info sorry.

We don't have full scans of the inlays, and they're not in Mort's scans on archive.org either. If they're like the other re-releases then Backpackers should have a Paxman logo on the spine but no barcode, and Krakatoa should have a Prism Leisure logo and a barcode starting 5014293.

I’ll check up on this tomorrow. Problem is Backpackers is ruined on front of inlay, as someone removed a sticker. Maybe a cut/paste with the one already online?

I’ll compare the games with the Paxmans online, and see if they are the same, which they probably are. But maybe a TZX file should be made to show that the games were on one tape, and not two.

But the release should be mentioned in the database as its a proper release :)

So all that should be done is adding the info about the release in the database I guess?
