Bippy's Rare Games and Alts Treasure Chest :P

[BippyM]

Not wanting to rip off a great idea by andreas, I have been beavering away with some renaming and come across some rare titles!!

I am not giving as much info as Andreas is, but I will provide crack info if required, and these will hopefully be in the next Tosec release (If it ever happens lol) ;P

Firstly we have:

Type: Game
Title: Dungeons, Amethysts, Alchemists 'n' Everythn'
Released: 1991
Crack: Crystal
Disks: 1

This game seems quite rare, as it isn't in Tosec yet, and was on Twists MIA list until recently!!

-----

Type: Docs Disk(s)

[BippyM]

Type: Game
Name: Championship Cricket
Year: 1988
From: Crysis Software

Notes: This was on Twists mia but has now surfaced.. though it still isn't available in tosec yet.. so I have upped a ver cracked by The Champs to the zone

It'll be in the next release hopefully

[BippyM]

Excalibur from Kingsoft seems to have 2 versions floating about!

The version shown in HOL is from Kingsoft and the version in TOSEC is not Kingsoft..

The games are 95% identical look wise, but there are a few differences!

The title screens and the first level are slightly different, the tosec ver seems to be called EXCALIBUR NEXT GENERATION so maybe it came after it was released by Kingsoft!! but I am unsure

In the Zone you will find the Kingsoft ver (Non-Tosec) if anyone wants the tosec ver gimme a shout

[BippyM]

Another shot.. this is directly from the start of level 1

Left is Tosec (Meggers ver) right is Kingsoft ver

I do not beleive this was commercial. But I'm not sure on that.
It was available on a local HAM Radio BBS. You know, those BBS-s you could reach using an 27Mhz CB Radio and a so called Baycom modem.

Anyway the link was effectivly 300 baud. I never got this downloaded since the connection was always terminated and resuming didn't work as it should. I sure had less problems retreiving it from the zone ;-)

[BippyM]
