Can you upload the PenPal program archive to The Zone for me please, mate.
I'd like to have a look at it too.

No point! I converted it to a modern format you can open with OpenOffice
Also sorted it by name

Find it attached.

Now I know why I asked to have a look at this file, it has a couple of Tetris games I wanted to look at, related to my archaic, still unsolved thread of yesteryear.

TETRIS IV, whatever that is, is what I was looking for.
Now the problem is: I don't know who I got this software list from, so I can't ask for the archives

No way to know without actually getting access to whatever this collection was

I quite given up hope on finding that game, probably there's a lot of distorted memory from my side, and as I wrote in that thread, the TV archives where that show were stored caught fire, so we'll never really see what the game actually looked like. Getting a tape of that show would be the only way to prove its existence, or debunk it!

It is very possible it was Twintris or a hack of it. That's my final take on it. I'll never know for sure!

Twintris is my all time favourite version of tetris.. It's so good.

I think it's also supported by other software, FinalData can read and edit the file .FLR extension

I was not wrong, probably cataloging used MiAmgaFile II, the most used to catalog games and programs

Hi, i just saw the pictures of the Pen Pal, and remembered that, just few days ago, while testing some of my adf's,
i have started an App called "GoAmiga Pal"
which had similar interface and colors as "Pen Pal"

The Screenshot is attached, it can, as well, read that format. p.s.deleted

GoAmiga and MiAmgaFile II (version Italian, i also have the English version) they are the same thing

Maybe there are other versions with different names
