Paper Soft type-ins (comments) (ITA/ENG)

nbla000 · Post by **nbla000** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:12 am

Time for another PaperSoft type-in, Frana.

It is a translation of Cave-In For VIC-20 published by Compute!'s Gazette January 1984, Issue 7 Vol. 2, No. 1.

I've not found the original game in any archive so it can be added to the gamebase if Mayhem agrees.

There's a couple you've linked to (in Italian) that I haven't got the typed-up English version yet. Tetracrystals of Veluria is another one. Hopefully they'll get done sometime...

I must check but I think they are more then just a cuple, the next will be Dragon (same name for the original English version) btw i will check for other titles and I inform you.

Well they're just the ones I've noticed because I've recognised the names. I don't have all the Compute games listed in GB20 yet anyhows (whether typed-up or not).

Excellent work Strongboy

.
I usually type-in the listings in VICE, using the VIC keyboard layout. Once you get used to, it's fast and "closer to the real thing" (when I'm at home, I type-in using a VIC keyboard connected to the PC via Keyrah). Also, you can use instruction abbreviations such as P(SHIFT+O) for POKE; ? for PRINT, etc.

Heh. The listing I made of VIC-20 games from COMPUTE! used to cross reference the Italian translations has made me receive an email from yet one more of those people who submitted games. That are at least two old time COMPUTE! contributors found in one thread. I'm doing all I can to revisit their 25+ year old interests, at least by playing some games in the emulator.
