Happy New Year EAB peeps!
On behalf of the HOL team (and super contributors!), I bring you today something a little different - an obscure little edutainment title in the (free ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not a lot to say about this one except that it's a real throwback to wholesome 1980s computer entertainment, in a time when singing Christmas carols played by the computer (vs vinyl or a cassette recorder) with cued lyrics was considered cutting edge and dreaming up the notion of MP3s probably would've meant dropping too much LSD and then getting a visit from the men with straight-jackets! ![]() Christmas Classics (Free Spirit) ------> http://hol.abime.net/6161 <------ (new HOL entry) Anyway, I've plonked an ADF and a raw dump of my original copy in the Zone. The TOSEC and raw dump enthusiasts among you should refer to the readme files in each archive for more nitty-gritty info. Enjoy! ![]() Last edited by DrBong; 02 January 2017 at 12:21.

Yeah it's a nice little title to run in the bg, I put it on my CD32 Xmas pack last month.

Yes, oddly lots of love for the Amiga version on YouTube (3 vids IIRC).....and barely a mention of it anywhere else on the net except CA.com. Much less info. on the C64 version to be found, though, which apparently had many more Christmas carols included! ![]() @Amigajay So it is......I probably missed the bit about demos and music also being on that compilation. Nice Chrissy coverage on that comp BTW! ![]() ![]() Last edited by DrBong; 01 January 2017 at 20:25. |

@Denis
Yeh, I know - I said as much in the text file included in the raw dump archive (tis also the reason why you didn't get an advance copy in email to analyse! ![]() The corrupted file doesn't seem to affect anything, though, as the carols in Christmas Classics looped a few times in playback without problem on both my A1200 and A500. I just upped the raw dump so it can be used as an unmodified dump for comparison with the next dump, hopefully made available by someone else in the not-too-distant future. |
