Short: Index to Retro Gold Speccy CD - Loads directly to ZXAM/HA3! Author: gss@arts.gla.ac.uk (Gerard Sweeney, Hackers Anonymous) Uploader: gss@arts.gla.ac.uk (Gerard Sweeney, Hackers Anonymous) Type: misc/emu Gerard Sweeney (Hackers Anonymous) presents: ============================================ A 99% complete index of the Limited Edition Gold CD RETRO GOLD, listing all games alphabetically, and which snaps to load! Also features a Guide version which will load the game to ZXAM, and run it. Also a special version which links to (and also modifies) Rastan's cool HACK ATTACK III)... ============================================ Umm, that's about it there. Oh, I will shortly be bringing out an update guide to Hack Attack III with another 100 games hacked. I had originally meant to bring this out a year ago, but got utterly side-tracked. So, if anyone wants games hacked, or wants help on making up their own POKE guide updates, get in touch and I'll see what I can do. Or, if you just want to chat about old Speccy times (any YS Staff reading this are most DEFINITELY invited to mail me!), then get in touch at the email address above (or even the one below hehe).. Oh, I had originally written this guide a while back, but I didn't want to release it because of the bug (see below), but I eventually decided to go with it in the hope that someone would help me out :-) IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm sorry, but I had already archived all of the main program, and to change it all to add a simple couple of lines would have caused FAR too much work. Anyway, if big companies like Microsoft can get away with it, why can't I? (mind you, their error was called Windows heheh). A couple of things to start with:- (1). Dalmation BBS has closed down, so don't call it unless you have heard otherwise. (2). This CD index is based upon the original "Gold" release CD which Weird Science brought out... I notice now that they have brought it out as a "official" CD, but I don't know if there's been any changes made. If so, sorry! (3). Well, just to prove I'm only human, here's a bug..... The only bug I have found so far is that the "RELOAD" option doesn't work. You either have to re-select the snapshot by clicking LOAD and then OK, or by pressing the game name in the Guide file again. I don't know why this is the case.. I've completely re-written the AREXX script over and over again, and got in touch with Toni Pomar as well. So far to no avail. If anyone comes up with some ingenious way of doing this, please let me know in one of these ways:- E-Mail: gss@arts.gla.ac.uk Snail Mail: Gerard Sweeney 34 Garngour Road Lesmahagow Lanarkshire Scotland ML11 0EU BBS: Dalmation BBS (12pm -> 12am Saturday only) **** CLOSED DOWN...
