Thanks for the info! Now that Demos are being submitted to the SC database, maybe we will see this one soon here (with the right author not the one that stole it hehe)XTM wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 11:50 pm The original Amiga Ball was a type-in from a 1986 magazine, I only remember that because I have in fact typed in that listing back in 1987 or so. I managed to find it here:
Happy Computer, issue 8/1986 (August), page 79-80
Author: Frank Andert (the name is shown in the very first line of the Basic listing)
The one you uploaded is the result you'll get after running the Basic listing in the magazine (which I remember taking a very long time), where once finished it saves a code file containing the animation frames and some additional code.
There is a demo from 1992 which seems to contain exactly the same ball, but it credits an entirely different author name, so I assume that guy "stole" it.
Ah, I forgot Runblaster. IDK its original title, but it was published on Run n.4.Oloturia wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 11:36 am Crush up is Thrusta slightly modified.
Staeerke is Mr Wong's Loopy Laundry.
The Wizard is Cavelon.
Aquarius indeed tried to sell the magazine in Germany with the name ZX-Soft (IIRC). They featured many on-tape articles about the Spectrum, some utilities and a few games, mostly cracked. Edicola8bit has the dumps and scans of the Italian version of Run but they haven't yet separated the single programs nor resolved the cracks.
