Seeking two Robot Readers

I'm looking for Robot Readers titled "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Three Bears" from Hilton Android Corporation. They released a total of six Robot Reader titles on the Amiga.

Also, the company MicroEd announced and possibly released upwards of 30 titles on the Amiga from 1985 until 1988. The only ones I know that I have for certain are "Introducing Maps" and "Transcontinental Railroad".

I can't imagine just who would have copied, much less kept, these titles, but since I already have four of them, such people do exist! (Wait a minute, I'm copying and keeping them now)

Damn...I just can't wait to see what stuff you actually do have. I really need to allocate some time to dig through my stuff and find what edutainment titles I may have that you don't (although it's hard to imagine I could have anything that you don't in this genre!)

Heh, now that's what I call an ancient thread.

Meanwhile, box scans of Aesop's Fables and Adventures of Sinbad have been added to HOL.
Could anyone please zone these ADFs (or ideally more Unicorn games on the list above) so that we have some more MIAs down in HOL?
Thanks

(btw screenshots and DBSes of Decimal Dungeon and Kinderama are now available. )

also found some more educational titles, which are still "M.I.A", for example "All Dogs Go To Heaven[Electric Crayon]".
If you are interested, let me know.

All Dogs Go To Heaven zoned.

Is there a way to show all "M.I.A." titles in HOL via search function?

Close approximation (you also get those with unrelease status):
http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?N_nb_dbs=no

Edit: Probably better, but it might miss a few titles if the unreleased status was forgotten or not set correctly:
http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?...no&N_nb_dbs=no
