WTB: Rick Dangerous 1 - Loose floppy disk - Firebird Version

[liviux76]

Hello all,

I've already opened a thread on Amibay but maybe not all of you read that forum.

As per the title I'm looking for Rick Dangerous 1 - Loose floppy disk - Firebird Version (like those in the pictures).
It doesn't matter if it works or not. I just need the original floppy disk in good esthetic condition (without scratches, permanent marker signs, holes or "burnt" by the sun).

Please, if you have it (and are willing to sell it ) contact me by PM with your request (shipping to Italy in bubble-wrapped envelope included).
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, can anyone help me?
That floppy disk seems impossible to find...

I did a quick check of a stack of loose originals most readily at-hand here and, surprisingly, found a working Firebird release of Rick Dangerous. Just PM me your details and it's yours......

Wow!!!!

That's a great news, mate!!!

I am going to write you a PM!!!

Non si preoccupare paesano! Glad to be of service. HOL needed a better scan of the Rick Dangerous disk I'll be sending you, so check it out for yourself:

Yeah!

This scan is certainly much better than the previous one!
I'll check as soon as possible if HOL needs some scans of my boxes/manual/disks... it's awesome to have such a great game archive!

It wasn't hard to do better than the previous scan! Still, the disk is quite a dark blue.....so using a dull red colour for the text wasn't Firebird's greatest idea.

Great! TCD and Rob need something to occupy themselves (if and) when they return to EAB!!

I'll send you a PM when I post out your disk. Hopefully it will happen over the weekend.....

Thanks so much!

Sorry mate, I haven't had a chance to PM you yet.....but I did manage to post your disk off Saturday last week. I imagine you will receive it in another 2-3 weeks as airmail delivery to Italy is quite slow now (with our postal service trying to maximise profits by cutting costs everywhere they can - bah!).

Thanks mate! Great news!

Italian Post isn't very good either... hopefully the disk will arrive within this month...

I'll let you know as soon as I receive it, thanks again!
