SNAKMAN
I have the Snakman 1.1 tape and it appears the only way to run it is with the shift-runstop (auto load/run) Has anyone ever tried to create a disk file of this? I tried to load the game and save it but it behaves strange. Is there some strange copy protection? Any help/input would be appreciated. Jo...

Centering 24 columns - and 1702 monitors
I am writing a game that I would like to use 24 columns. I am able to get it to display very nicely on my emulator for the MAC (Power20). I also ran across the following code, from Herr Mike I believe, that does it even nicer. POKE36864,PEEK(60900)-3 POKE36866,(PEEK(36866)AND128)+24 ..... (original ...

Cleaning did not help. I tried the scotch bright technique and I even added some gentle cleaning liquid. I opened the cartridge and it looks like all the pins are there and nothing is broken. I would have assumed this to be the case since the cartridge tries to run and aborts in various places. It d...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? What does it sound like? A connector pin being lost? Connector pins needing to ...

Another programming opportunity
Assumptions: 1. The screen area is 7 x 10. This is logical positions as opposed to physical (not that it matters). The issue is there are 70 possible positions. 2. Each logical screen position can contain up one of three different characters. 3. I want to predefine 20 (or so) screens for my game. 4....
