Any chance of looking at this again. A few other forums I'm on have now reintroduced it.

Re: Weird Copy Of Jupiter Lander - Early Version?

I bought that Super Lander cartridge back in the day. I never heard of Jupiter Lander until I joined the retro scene mid 90s.

Re: Athanor

Not really my cup of tea, but thanks very much for this game and the effort to produce it.

I wondered, how did you make and store the drawings. It looks like they are vector based.

Re: Best place for an emulator to download games from

I think that since were in the 21st century gamebase 20 or similar should be online. I did a prototype website a while ago converting the database to sql server and asp.net. It could include the ability to download or hotlink directly to matt Dawson's excellent JavaScript emu.

Re: Thorm EMI prototype carts?

Yes, I see tank commander and computer war are both available at zimmers, so not really worth much.

Re: UltiMem

Would be nice if there was an "official" boot image for this cart along the lines of the megacart menu. I guess this cart would then offer everything the MC does but offer the benefit of ready availability, updatable and larger memory.

What light pens would work with this?

Re: Release: Popeye

Thanks for the heads-up. I thought they had dropped that as I expected to see it in the same issue as the game review.
