| How to get a working version of this game. | The version that's on the net doesn't work on the Plus/4. There are two similar data file on the disk: "DATA" which is used by the C64 version and "BATA" which is used by the Plus/4 version. The game doesn't work because the "BATA" file that's on it is corrupted. However, the "DATA" file is good, and only the first 63 bytes need to be different. Here are the step-by-step instructions to fix it.
1) Download the broken D64 image from any of these C64 sites. I recommend putting it into a separate folder until it is fixed.
Site 1 | Site 2 | Site 3 | Site 4
2) Use Star Commander (available from here). Go inside the D64 file, and locate the following two files: BATA and DATA. Copy them by pressing F5 to your PC. You can then exit Star Commander. (Note: you will notice that the BATA file is smaller than DATA, yes, it's corrupted.)
3) Run your favourite hex editor (I recommend Frhed, available from here).
Open DATA.PRG in your hex editor. Go down to offset $0040 (or in other words go down 4 lines). Copy all the bytes from here to the end of the file.
Now open BATA.PRG. Go down to offset $0040, select everything from here to the end of the file, then cut it. Now paste the data you copied here. Save the file.
4) Use Star Commander to copy back the modified BATA file to the disk.
The game is now fixed. Start it by LOAD"SAGA.OBJ",8,1 then SYS4864.
