Missing games from Oric.Org

[dave3622]

The Car War (Theoric Magazine), Bandit (Express Software) and Gridman Sam (Personal Computing Today).

[dave3622]

Another three from 'Your Computer'; Attack of the Marshmallows, The Brood and Pyramaniac.

[dave3622]

And yet more from YC; Oric Gnasher, Oric Trek (AKA Star Trek) and Centepods (incorrectly named Centrepods on oric.org)

This is such an excellent contribution - you need a promotion! . (How does that work, anyway?)

One thing I'm interested in doing is, going through these listings to learn the basics - the MC games have some interesting knowledge to be gleaned, I'm quite sure. Is there any chance we could try to remove some of the anti-LIST'ing capabilities of these .TAP's somehow?

The only way I know with my limited Oric knowledge is to interrupt the auto-run with POKE #500,1 before loading.

Anyway, three more from the same magazine. This time it's Light Bikes, Minefield and Matrix Run.

Final two for now; Green X Toad and Playground 21. I'm surprised these aren't already on oric.org for download since the IJK games were amongst the most popular in the UK back in the day.

*edit to add that 'Pole Position' on oric.org by IJK is 100% a hack. It's basically the driver game that came with the Atmos, modified to include a title screen ripped from Probe 3 with the text and colours changed. I had this game on a pirate tape several years ago and examined the listing!

Here's Blowtorch Blaster by Touchstone.

I'm on annual leave for two weeks, it's raining and I'm bored. Just in case you were beginning to think I don't have a life!

The Last Warrior by FGC.

[dave3622]

Navaloric, a type-in from Theoric Magazine.

Let me know if you want me to slow down with these games or speed up; I have hundreds to add yet but don't want to overwhelm anyone!

[dave3622]

"Oric Trek" by Salamander Software and "Rabbit" by Norsoft.

[ibisum]

KEEP THEM COMING! This is one of the most fun Oric experiences ever ..

[dave3622]

Next is "Bugs Buster" by Free Game Blot.

[dave3622]

Cocoric; listed on oric.org with screenshots but no game file

[dave3622]

I've noticed that quite a few entries on oric.org have become corrupted; the game's title is missing and the page cannot be opened. Click on the 'Sprites' software games for two examples of this. There are dozens of games affected.

Fisher Sam, no knowledge of this whatsoever but it works.
