 G64 days

Unfortunately, we have had only a few manufacturers in the past who offered commercial software on floppy disk. One of the few was Kingsoft, among others, and they also had good copy protection on the floppy disks. That made sure again and again that only fairly moderate cracks were partially in circulation. And sometimes the disk versions are not 100% identical to the existing tape versions. Also Anco had few titles on disk, which have the same copy protection.

Thanks to the friendly help of a user from the German Forum 64, a large part of the existing original floppy disks could now be made into the G64 format.

We now have the following new G64: Bongo, Bridgehead (C-16 and Plus/4 version on a disk), Chipy, Crillion, Demolition , Die Seefahrt, Emerald Mine II, Fire-Galaxy, Fortress Underground (without graphic bug!), Karate King, Karting Grand Prix , Legende im Eis, Maniax, Der Pfad im Dschungel, Plus-Paket 16, Quiwi (from both disk sides, plus the expansion disks 1 & 2), Das Rätsel um die 7. Kolonie, Space Pilot, Kingsoft Sport Show, Two to One, Winter Olympiade (German release of the Winter Events). From Anco are adding Power Pack (Anco) and Strip Poker II plus.

Of the applications and utilities have been added: Graphics Designer, Paintbox (here now with 3 demo images!), Music Master, Micro Datei, Micro Kalk, Micro Text 2.0 and Soft 80.

That's not all of Anco and Kingsoft, but a start has been made. We need your (!) help, if there are any more original floppies, so check your collections!

Not a G64 at the last, only a D64 from ACE 2 from Cascade Games, the original disk version.
