Antimatter, Swamp Monster and Pilot Pursuit *tapes*

Post by Mikam73 »

I got loads of TI-99/4A software from US today..

But there was also some Vic20 software.. Games I have never seen were Antimatter, Swamp Monster and Piloit Pursuit. All games are tape and have white big box. Size about VHS, but more thin.

More common carts were Centipede and Turtle Graphics.

But how common are those three games? They still have plastic around them, new/not used. 8)

The font and cover art reminds me of Thorn EMI. Did they develop their games in-house, or perhaps this was some smaller software label who had surplus games that Thorn EMI weren't interested in?

Ok, some more titles by ALA Software:

Atari 8-bit: Dragon's Hideaway 32K (disk)
Atari 8-bit: Tiger Hunters 32K (disk)
Apple II: Lost & Found
Apple II: Nightmare (adventure)
Apple II: Planet of Crawlers
VIC-20: Safe Cracker (OX1523)
VIC-20: Slot Machine (VCG13399)
TI-99/4A: Tornado Challenge
Commodore 64: Extra-Terrestrial (not related to E.T.)

According to an old thead on Lemon64, most of their games were at best compiled Basic, and very poor playability. Nice packaging, though.

I've got a few ALA games here, but I don't think I have these three. They may be needed for GB20... any chance to be able to TAP them for me? :)

I've never encountered ALA games before in Canada. I don't even think I've seen these ones on Ebay before.

Blatant artist rip off of the Empre Strikes Back probe droid in that first one, eh? :lol:

So those really are rare then.. (?).

They still have plastic around them.. But maybe later.

And there is also problem that I dont have any tape deck (Only those for Vic20/C64).

Rare? Hard to say. Certainly I don't see games from ALA very much however. I'll check if they are needed (most likely), perhaps we can work something out (either loaning the tapes or I buy them from you).

Usually everything that you dont have is rare.. :wink:

And if those are unknown at Denial.. Sounds rare.. 8)

Those are my only copys, so they are not for sale. And they are sealed anyway.

Well I can't find reference to any of them here on my HD, so I guess they need to be backed up somehow...

Well, that's certainly possible... I'll be getting around to it (when I get a spare moment) on making a proper Vic20 haves list for someone else here, so I'll pass it along to you as well.

Have anyone invented the tape recorder that can read through shrink-wrapped packages yet? Is it possible to use together with the cartridge dumping unit that also works through shrink-wrapped packages? :lol:

Perhaps a unit that reads a cartridge behind plastic covers and saves the content unto an unopened, plastic wrapped tape?
