Typing Tutor - Word Invaders

MikeA3000 · 24 December 2018, 17:46

Going thru my old disks, I found Academy Software's, Typing Tutor plus Word Invaders. I spent many hours increasing my typing speed by playing word invaders. I looked on Tosec and it doesn't appear that this game is known to be available anywhere. I have made an .adf of the game. What is your opinion on what should be done with this disk/game?

My opinion would be to share before it is too late.

I've been GreazeWeasling my old disks for months now as to .adf and .scp. Later maybe to .ipf those who refuse to go .adf or .scp. and evey now and then I have been wondering where could I transfer them to, so I would not be the only one having them in case they are in danger to be lost.

Looks like that game is not diskcopyprotected if .adf was success.

I'd be more than happy to send it to them, how do I upload it to HOL?

You can attach it here on your post or upload to The Zone
https://eab.abime.net/zone.php?

Not sure if we need it for HOL, but it is of course very welcome if you could upload your disk image

If you can't access the zone (there is a problem right now) you can use the HOL FTP: https://amiga.abime.net/faqs/contributions

MikeA3000 · 25 July 2023, 14:17

I uploaded it to the Zone.

Thank you very much

I've also added your ADF to 'Non TOSEC Games/Disk' on the file server.

You're very welcome, I'm glad to see it get archived. It was a great tool to boost my typing skills.

Definately made it to New Zealand. The UFO bit was a fun little game. Do you have a photo of the disk?

MikeA3000 · 26 July 2023, 01:12

Sorry, might have been pirated.

Word invaders is a lot of fun!

Thanks for sharing, a 2nd copy confirmed the good condition of your version.
It's now in TOSEC
