wanting to buy Blitz Basic 2

[Angus]

I gave my copy of Blitz Basic 2 away a few years ago, and now I have a hankering to try and get into it. I know there are various downloads available, but I'm after a boxed copy to buy, if anybody can help?


Cheers.

But you want to stay Old School, right?

Thanks, but yeah. It's not entirely rational, but I want to buy a boxed copy and start from there, at least initially. :-)

Not entirely helping your irrational needs, but this project might be worth watching - https://ubb.plus/

I recall reading that they may try and get their updated manual printed, which is one step closer to a boxed version I suppose.

AmiBay might be an easier place to find a real boxed copy....

Don't see this happen often these days, but your Link shows as "Not a safe Website"

Thanks Twiggy, I saw this on Youtube and it remains an option. In fact, if I'm able to find an original, I'll probably look into this too.

Yes, I tried a search on Amibay, but I had to register first. I did that but I think I must have misread the wonky text bot-check, because my registration failed. I emailed the help link, but have not heard back. :-/

Update, got past the wonky text and did a search. Nothing for now.

Send davideo a PM on here fella. I'm sure he'll help you get registered.

[Angus]

Cheers, Kin. I will give that a go.

Got mine from EBay.

And I think it is completely rational to want a boxed copy especially as you then have a manual to work with (manuals on electronic devices just don't work as well).

If you can - go for the second manual - blue ring binder. Not only is it much more up to date especially with 'new' display library but the ring binder makes it much easier to flip through.

Although I did like the big reference manual that I had with the original BB2. I'm sure mine is in the loft somewhere - found the small white manual but have never been able to locate the reference manual.

I would offer you my original manual but it go damaged over time and although all the pages are there - it looks like the cover and inlay have lost an argument with a dog!

[Angus]

Oh, now you're just teasing me! :-) If it functions as a manual I would happily pay you for it. I love my battered Amiga game boxes just as much as the ones time has been kinder to.

[Havie]

You'd be most welcome to it if you don't find anything better!

Just noticed the contents are mutilated too - I might try and effect a small repair!

[tin]

If you're still after this I'm almost certain I have a complete boxed copy (the ringbinder version) you'd be welcome to have. I'll need a few days to dig it out, and maybe a reminder or two if i forget!

[Angus]

Wow, definitely. Thanks for the offer.
