Niezmordowany Tomasz "Kilof" Foryś przedarł się przez
kolejny ogromny pakiet gier dla naszego ulubieńca. W efekcie tego
mamy w katalogu dodatkowo ponad 35 MB danych, ponad 480 nowych
plików, blisko 50 nowych gier. Chyba nie ma sensu prezentować
długaśnej listy wszystkich plików, bo kto chce to może sobie
wyselekcjonować pełny spis po datach plików. Za to nowe pozycje
warte są odnotowania:

Ah yes,
I remember the old type-in listing Olympia very well, it was one of the first programs my brother typed in. The listing was printed on ten A4 pages and after two days of typing it in, we never got it to work. Approx. eight years later I got the program again, only to find out, that the gfx are "okayish" (not great, but something you could live with), thanks to Atari Basic the speed was quite slow, BUT the controls were absolutely stupid and made the game almost unplayable...
Therefore I created a "patched" (or better shortened) version that would work faster under TB XL and an extremely fast version under CTB - alas, being no programmer the controls stayed as bad as they were (so all you got was a faster but still unplayable game). Thinking about it now, I know for sure it was not worth to type in the 10 long pages of the listing, but luckily it had not been me, but my brother who typed it in (and the game did not work due to several printing errors in the magazine that we could not fix then)...
Other programs my brother typed in at that time were "Straussenkampf" by Oliver Cyranka (a good Joust clone in Atari Basic) and "Super Miner" by Kemal Ezcan (also in AB, there has been a polish A8 clone "Cavern of the lost miner" recently). But afaik they appeared in the same magazines and thanks to printing errors, they also did not work after typing them in...
Why do I remember these type-in programs so good ?!? Well, when we bought the A8 in 1984 we were completely out of money, no device to store (save) programs to, not even a data-recorder (we bought a 1010 recorder 6-8 months later). So, whenever we or better my brother typed something in, we could only play it as long as the Atari 800XL was powered on. Whenever the A8 got powered off, all the typed-in programs were gone forever. And that also happened to these (as well as other) programs and we were quite angry then for the time we did spend only to find out that the programs did not work...

Good times, great memories!

...and you can send this fixed "Olympia" game to me! :)
Nice story, thanks. There is a small misunderstanding: "Caver of the Lost Miner" is Czech game, not Polish one.

CharlieChaplin <-- you're story is exactly like mine, only it was me not my brother who was the typist :-)
When my parents finally managed to save enough $$$ for the 65XE it wasn't enough even for the tape recorder, not to mention a disk drive. I spent the whole first day typing in the game "Nessie" from Polish magazine "Bajtek" - as far as I remember. Can't remember how long I had to wait for my XC12 but it was at least a couple of weeks. The bright side was I started learning programming at that time and as the proverb goes "The cask savours of the first fill" :-) Cheers!
