Adventure 4 Pack

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.

This is the matching ZXDB entry, so I think it should be identical -

I will have a check though, later.

Walter went on to release the games himself, where iirc he made various tweaks. Those versions later went on to be republished by GI Games/Zenobi.

The SPOT comment on the compilation above is a little irrelevant. Perhaps this compilation wasn't mentioned in H&D adverts but there are plenty of references to it in H&D's own publications.

I've quickly checked the first game (Mission X) and the databases for both versions attributed to H&D are identical. I'd imagine it'll be the same for the other three but I will verify at a later point.

Both Mansion and Castle are the same too, so this is probably the version of the compilation already archived.

We didn't have the inlay, though.
