Re: Atom Software Archive
Hi Phil,
If you download the AtomSoftwareCatalog_20180225_V10.zip, you'll find an Excel sheet with all titles.
Just filter the status on missing and you'll get a list.

Re: Atom Software Archive
Thanks Kees 

Re: Atom Software Archive
It's pretty current. I last updated it a couple of weeks ago:sPhilMainwaring wrote: I see this is now page 39 ... is there a list of the "Really Missing" titles now, as opposed to the list on page 1 (or is the list on page 1 always current?)
Why do you ask? Do you have some new leads?Last edited by hoglet on Wed Feb 14, 2018 11:15 am, edited 20 times in total.

Re: Atom Software Archive
Hi all,
I'm new here and I just recently managed to get myself an Atom from someone I met at a car boot sale for a very low price. I was really pleased to find it still works pretty much perfectly as far as I can tell. It seems to be a fairly "vanilla" machine, no colour board or extra interfaces, but I think it has got 12K of RAM at least as games like Jet Set Miner work fine. If anyone could point me in the right direction to maybe get a colour board or sd card interface that would be great.
The only way that I have to load software at the moment is via the tape interface, using either a PC outputting the audio or a real tape. I found some .atm files online from this software archive, converted them to wav with atm2wav and played them into the machine. Mostly this works fine but I still get quite a lot of "error 94" issues after loading is complete with certain games. The Acornsoft Adventures (Dungeon, House, Intergalactic etc) will not load at all. There are several files that make them up, the loader, the game engine and the game itself. I load the loader first, select my game, then load the engine followed by the game but all it ever gives me is error 94. Also games like Hammurabi and frogger appear to load successfully, then give me an error 94 when trying to run them. Would appreciate any advice on what I could do, perhaps there are other load commands I could try but have already tried load, *fload *r."filename" *run"filename". Could also be that some of these games are not meant to be loaded from tape i guess
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!
Cheers,

Welcome to Stardot.
Acornsoft Dungeon does contain two files, but should be possible to load manually from tape with:
But you will need to have 12K (and no RAM faults).
The other Acornsoft adventures are similar:

Brilliant, thanks! Just tried it and it works pefectly, I shall remember that one. Cool to have some adventure games on the atom to go with all the arcade classics.
Re: Atom Software Archive
Hi,
Whilst searching for some BBC Micro games, I came across these in "Games Computing" magazine (issue 2, Feb. 1984)
The magazine is quite hard to find so maybe these are missing from the archive??

Re: Atom Software Archive
Hi,
I'm intending to check all my tapes early next year hoping to find some unknown titles...
But first I like to change my Acorn Attic into an Atom Attic before checking any further...
Yesterday I had the urge to pick a tape and check a bit...
I don't know if these games are unknown, but,, just in case...
PARACHUTE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EWr151ZWLM
SHOPPER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsoS3LeqQ7o
GATTACK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBp9gCM0lrM
I was afraid to save them the wrong way so I saved them all from #2900 to #3C00 just to be sure, see attachments below...
Greetings, Wim...

Re: Atom Software Archive
Hi,
at the moment I'm checking all my MDCR (Mini Digital Cassette Recorder) tapes...
I did run into this game, it uses a lot of ram memory, #1000-#8000 & #9800-#A000.
TOPOGRAFIE
It was partly running at #A000 but Kees (oss003) chanced it into #1000. (because of the graphics)
Enjoy...

Re: Atom Software Archive
is that a 100+ people abroad holiday village game, where you poop in the pool & shut it for two days....

good find Kees



Re: Atom Software Archive
There should be plenty of free menu space in section B.
I was intending to do an update to the Archive . But I'm a bit tied up over the next couple of weeks redecorating the hall. If it's not already done, I'll work on this during ABUG.

Re: Atom Software Archive
I just noticed there are now three currently MIA "Atom" titles at CCH in Cambridge:
The Keys of Kraal (Program Power):
http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/ ... aal-(24K)/
Edit: I've not heard of this for the Atom. I think 24K/B/G suggests this may actually be a Nascom title. (manual).
Moonraider (Program Power):

Cosmiad (Highlight Software):
