Play Battery 2 on YAPE!!
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-29
This truly amazing Commodore Plus/4 only game is now playable on YAPE! A new, slightly modified version has just been uploaded to EMUCamp thanks to Csabo. Make sure to unzip this file into a separate folder, then run RUN.PRG (obviously). Don't be surprised that the zip file has some very weird filenames, in fact, this is what makes the game work!

This is an extremely cool game by TCFS, and it will provide you with many hours (weeks) of gameplay. Those who would dismiss this as yet another Taskforce like shooter are way off... Just give it a try!

Also we have reached 2600 programs! Yay!


New Oldie Found #1
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-28
Sziget (Island)It was more than 10 long years ago that Bit-ikli has created this basic game. This is the first program that is MY contribution to our Plus/4 software archive. I was so glad when I found this to be something new after looking through *lots* of disks with stuff that we already have. When I think about it, I wonder how many more games/demos/utilities are hiding on so many old disks, just waiting to be found again...

Even though this game is in Hungarian, with the little description I provided (plus a dictionary) anyone could have fun with it. I remember playing this many afternoons back in the day, and it was fun!

Also SVS has submitted two screenshots for his Macro Assembler and SVS-OS.


Last Visited page
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-26
There is yet another new page for you to check out: The Last Visited Page (note: page was removed in 2009). You can use this page to see what everyone else is looking at... A bit similar to MetaSpy. If anyone looks at a software, member, group or a tool, it goes to the first place... :-) While completely useless, this page is fun!

The sidebar here on the index page has been changed to include all these new pages (Team, Editing and Last Visited).


Editing Things
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-25
There is a new page here on Plus/4 World regarding editing: the editing page. This is mainly for those who want to contribute, but everyone else is welcome to read it. There are five sections which are now also editable: Introductions, Descriptions, Instructions, Cheats and Solutions. We are hoping that this will encourage all of you to contribute! Thanks to everyone who has added stuff so far. Questions, comments and ideas are still welcome.


100,000 Hits!!
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-23
Unbelievable, but true: sometime in the early hours today Plus/4 World has reached One Hundred Thousand hits! Check out the counter at the bottom/left of this page. (And that's only hits to the front page...) Lando and Csabo would like to thank everyone who visit and help us - you make this site a success! Woo-hoo!!


New Stuff

CoyoteWe now have a picture of Coyote (Béla Králl), a talented graphician from Coroners. That makes it 47 for the Faces of the Scene. Thanks to TLC for the picture.

desertfragmentsAlso added today are two demos from bubis, desert and fragments. They are 2002 releases, and most of you probably haven't seem them. They are full of very cool, high tech stuff never before seen on the Plus/4.

Also head on over to plus4.org for some emulator news.


Play Jerry's Quest on Yape!
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-21
Jerry walkingThe Turtle, The Crab and The Earthworm
The Jerry's Quest Page has been updated with some instructions. This game was written by TCFS in 1993. The original .D64 file currently does not work with any emulator.
For those who want to (re)play this game, we have a bit of good news. A new zip file has been uploaded to EmuCamp which contains a version that will work with YAPE. Make sure to unzip this file to a separate folder, then run 'Loader.prg'. Alternatively, you can run 'Game_only.prg' to skip the intro. It's worth checking out.


Help Us Build Plus/4 World!
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-20
Today Plus/4 World officially opens for editing... It takes a lot of time and effort to build and maintain the software library, and now you can be a part of it too. By becoming an editor, you gain access to the editing features on this website. These features will allow you to add new softwares or information - instantly! Anyone who is already on the Member Listing (and has an email address entered) can automatically sign up. Just go to the login page, and type in your username (or handle). A newly generated password will be emailed to you. With that password, you can now log on as an editor. It's that simple!

If you are on the member listing but don't have email entered there, or you are not listed as a member at all, you can still sign-up manually by emailing Csabo.

Well, this has been in the works for quite some time now. This whole 'business' is probably not in it's final state yet, but things seem to be working quite well, so why not make it public. What happens from here on will depend on the feedback.


2500 Programs
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-14
Here we grow again. Plus/4 World's software library now contains 2500 pieces of software! That's a sifnificant number, and we definitely have lots more to enter. I (Csabo) would like to say thanks to those who have recently joined up to help with the database (you know who you are). Thanks guys!

cbm264.com Update!!
Posted by Csabo on 2002-11-04
Sunday brought a major update to cbm264.com. JamesC has uploaded 8 more Compute!'s Gazette covers; the disks, box and manual images of "The Complete Course in BASIC Programming"; 8 more Jim Hehl disks; and the program "Money Decisions: Loan Analysis" from the original C16 cassette tape.

On the GEOS side, he is expecting some of the GEOS addons (GeoCalc, GeoFile, etc) to arrive within the next week. Another Commodore fan in the States may have a spare 1551 soon that he would like to purchase so that he may finally get started on the GEOS-Plus/4 project, as he has not located a 6525 nor a Magic Voice in the States to get his 1551 working.
