|  Re: Disc software/games for Plus/4 ?
I don't think the plus/4 market died because of crackers. It died because of other more popular platforms (Amiga, Atari ST). At least here in Germany. There was just not enough money to be made from producing software for the C16. Some of my friends had a C16 or a plus/4 and they all longed for Software. Even if it was some crappy game, we bought it. When that first wave of software from Hungary hit us, the market here was already dead. Only Kingsoft continued publishing software for the C16.
I'm not sure if Mika73 asked for software that was published on disks or if he knows about all those games and demos that came from non-commercial sources. Many people simply don't know about this!
When I showed some demos and newer games to a friend he said he always thought there wasn't more to C16 than a bunch of small games loaded from tape. He stopped using his C116, unfortunately it's gone, when he got a C64 in 1987. The good times just started then.
