D64 RECALL comes to Commodore Plus/4 World!!
D64 Recall is the start of something new! It will become one of the biggest gatherings of Commodore Plus/4 D64 files online. Because of the amount of disk images that will become available to download I have set them up to be taken in batches at a time. All downloads contain a number of D64 files each with masses of Plus/4 software. What you will find here is one mega backup of an entire generation of Plus/4 users! Much of this stuff may never of seen the light of day to most of you, so it's time to change the books. It could also be a truning point for some of you to get involed in bringing your own ideas to the web with this stuff? We'd like to see all things plussy covered :-) Right now you can find a total of 86 D64 files, dig in and have fun!

Brain Rescued Robin for the site!!
Brian was just about to sell a C16 setup when I saw Robin to the Rescue was one game I was after. After a short email of please, please, please can I have this game for the site he was more than keen to send me the game to help out in the quest for original and better copys in the emulation scene. A Big many thanks Brain !!!
Darren Prescot at this time had just made a sample tap of Robin and Ati jumped in to make the best PRG crack yet. KING!! So today we pay homage to Robin by bringing you a new updated PRG version, MTap image taken from Brians tape, The Cover, Grabs and Info. Sola Software did release some foul games in there day, but John Shay's Robin to the Rescue has to be one of the all time greats on budget lable. It's the most addictive Hunch Back game ever to land on the C16/Plus4 and keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to save Marian. If you missed this game first and second time around now is the time to catch up on what you missed out on all those years ago!! Enjoy.


Zolyx Top Score!!
Pirate's Portal has started adding a couple of C16/Plus4 fav games and you can also try and beat any of the top scores set. Well I've had a quick bash at Zolyx and nocked up a neat score. Head on over to the site and see if you can knock me off as I want to have another go ;-)

bugbyte Turbo 28 New TAP's Available!!
Another cool Tap Image collection is up for grabs and some of these are also big thanks to the following people:
  • Julian Jones (author of Reflex and Panzer Dual)
  • Ait (author of YAPE)
  • Darren Prescott (who pulled of the impossible)
Julian Jones was a real star when I asked to borrow his TAZZ (Triple Deck 6) cassette which not only brought us his own Panzer Duel, but also Tazz and Trizons as TAP images!! Cheers Julian.


Ati's Indoor Soccer and Scooby Doo were great to see after the trouble it took to get hold of these original games in the first place. Big respects man :-)


And Darren was king! He was busy sampling his own collection and using Ati's (Sample to Mtap) tool made available Alien Attack, Cruncher, Invasion Force, Tank Attack, Winnie the Witch, Hoppit and Xzap. Take note of Inavasion Force, this game is infact Invasion 2000 AD. This was released by Alernative (Triple Decker 1) and for some odd reason they renamed the game to Inavasion Force in the Turbo Loader. Check it out! Cheers Darron.


You will also find a TAP called ZIP (Three great games for your C16) released by BUG-BYTE. All 3 games are seprate Tap images in the one download. Games are Transector, Destructor and Asteroid Belt. Have a cool Bank Holiday, whats left of it anyways. Cheers for now.
