Found some old original tapes

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.

And what about the front of the box?

I didn't take a picture of the front because it's already on the SC site. But let me know if you need me to and I'll send it.
Yes it would be fine, in hi-res resolution (600 dpi). But maybe you need to wait for a new scanner firstly. :-)

Thanks for doing the scans, 600dpi is a great resolution and is overkill but should be good for any later reworking.

I have scanned the inside of Bear Bovver,Terra Cresta, Invincible Island and Universal Hero (not added as yet to the site)

Thanks for the other version of Road Toad , I have only got the DkTronics version scanned
I have scanned a tatty version of Young Learners so a better version is great
I have also a Scan of Maths test by MacMacSoftware 6-13 year olds (not yet added)

Great work , would you be also able to scan the cassettes themselves as I can see emulators having a virtual tape and tape player with the scans being used as the tape stickers :D
Hi [mention]Mort[/mention]

I eventually got around to completing the cassette scans and trimming the edges. I've included all the ones you requested plus some others in case they are different to your versions.
These are iphone photos of the cassettes because they came out much better than scanning them.

In the meantime I'm working through your cassette scans in the archive and uploading them to SC. I need to get back to that and finish all the "C" cassettes. Thanks again for all those scans!

Here's the link to the file (30.3 MB, 20 files)
Cassette Scans

Let me know if I missed any.

Thanks
