Hi,

I was wondering if there was a list of :-

Available Software in the archive.
Wanted List of software not in the archive.

Thanks

I'm not sure I follow you. Available software in the archive? Like this? As for wanted software, everything is wanted which is not on the site as long as it's accompanied by a review and screenshots. Specifically wanted items are listed here: /wanted/.

I was really hoping for a text file ,i.e allfiles.zip that one could download and view. I originally came here after googling for Jet Fighter: The Adventure which doesn't appear to be on the site. I might be wrong.

Still googling for it even though I have two copies. One sitting right next to me. :P

There it is: /diskimages/id%2C260/.

There is no dedicated list of "files" (as in "downloads") as those are considered secondary to the site.

Jet Fighter did not come up when I tried using "Search". Bug or stupid newbie ? :(

I know there was disk protection on the disk(s). Is this a cracked version or just a disk image ?

All search options only search for full game entries, not disk image stubs. The status of this disk image is "unverified", so I can't really say whether it's cracked. It shouldn't be, but… it's unverified.

Is there a way for searching the stubs for unverified games. Been reading the posts and I was wondering if you had Critical Path or not.

Critical Path is a CD-only game. The disk images collection consists only of floppy games. The list of disk images is sorted alphabetically, though, so it really shouldn't be a problem looking anything up.

Hi.

I have original 5.25" (2D 360KB) of this game.

The file contents are same as 5.25".

This game has no copy protection.
The image of 260 has no problem. (must be Verified)

I have the original version on 5.25" and it had copy protection. I think the sequel had no protection.

BTW you typoed 5.25" twice so your post was difficult to understand.

Your version must be copy protected version released in 1988-1989.
(Copy protection is Everlock.)
It supports both CGA & EGA graphics.
But the uploaded 3.5" version was released in 1991.
(No copy protection, EGA supports only.)

I have 5.25" version of 1991.


P.S. If you still have 5.25" of it, you must have three disks, right?
If you have 5.25" drive, you can dump it as diskimage by using Teledisk 2.1x

I think it was two disks but I will have to check. I got it before it went out to retail. There were two versions 5.25" and 3.5" , I foolish choose the 5.25" version. I remember that you could only back one backup, either to floppy or hard drive. I did neither so the disk should be still virgin.
