Even More Oldies Found! - 2006-04-28 |  After seeing his own old game in the last news item, DCD also dug up about 10 pieces of missing/newly found pieces of software. Among them is Double Link, a tetris-like game, which was his very first machine-language production. Another interesting game is Szökés (Escape). With the addition of New$Reel #11, there is now only one issue missing! Take a look at our New Stuff section for the rest, and remember to keep an eye out for those missing software. |

More Old Stuff Dug Up! - 2006-04-26 |  Lacoste answered our call and dug into his disk archive. Out came 7 newly found oldies! Most interesting is probably Lettertile, a Mah-jongg style game from DCD. This is a never before seen Plus/4 game for most of us, and it looks like a fun play! We also have Log-X, which may be the only work of EVS member Flavour. The rest are Hungarian diskmags: IMBK News #06 completes the series. New$Reel gets issues 09, 21 and 23, leaving only a few missing. Dig in if you are interested, cheers to Lacoste! |

Another Lost Demo Found! - 2006-04-25 |  Murphy sent a belated birthday gift to Plus/4 World: My First Demo! It's his first production ever (done before joining GS), and considered that it's a first release it's a great effort. The demo features four parts, three with digiconverters. Check it out!
And remember, keep digging through your old disks/tapes, you never know when you may find some missing software! |

A unique find! - 2006-04-22 |  While browsing through the C64 Gamebase I have come across an unbelievable gem, that has probably never been seen before. The Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle is not a new piece of software: we have had a text-only C16 version and also a converted C64 version with hi-res pictures in it. What probably went unknown is the fact that Adventure International US used to have a dedicated plus/4 version of this game with different, multi-coloured graphics, on the same disk as the C64 version. Was it ever released commercially? We may never know. Adventure International went bankrupt in as early as 1985 meaning that a whole lot of software titles were not even being released anymore. There are a couple of other C64 titles using this engine that probably have a plus/4 version: Buckaroo Banzai and Questprobe 2. If anyone has a C64 original of these do not hesitate to check out the B side of those disks.
Anyway, go grab The sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle +4 while it's fresh and have a look for yourself. |

Plus/4 presences at BreakPoint'06. - 2006-04-17 |  Once again the big german event BreakPoint has been a theatre of arts, coding skills, friendship and beer.
A Plus/4 drop in this Amiga/PC/C64 ocean had been poured by Exin. He found a free Plus/4 to use, a running copy of Multi Botticelli, and a ton of passion.
He has taken part in the "Theme Graphics" compo with his work, ranking 9 over 11. You can grab it here, from various sources.
Congratulations Exin, and thanks for supporting our beloved machine!
