 |  ...And What's Left
 We used to catch the bigger fishes in the scene to serve'em in large dishes on your table, and satisfy your appetite for Plus/4 software. But time passes, and some little tiddlers have got caught in the nets, too little to be individually pointed out. This mass of seafood began to grow day by day, and now it's time to trash out this residue of heterogeneous stuff.
So let's see what's in the box! First of all, we missed all the gems usually released on C16 Plus4 Computing magazine, an ancient monthly appointment full of new games, interesting readings and useful tools. We're talking about several early versions of, say, Destructor and Jail Break, brand new games like Connector, tools that we've never seen before like Biorhythms. Higher quality gem between all the others is the early version of Leaper, released under Star Soft as Leaper (Star Soft).
Some new entries from the obscure side of the Plus/4 commercial games: Miner (Astralog) is another retrieved tile to complete the Astralog's history, and one of the featured games in Astralog Four Pack, how rare!.
Rainy Day II collection is one step far from being completed in his 25 games, missing one game only. Meanwhile, we added Spacemaze, Jackpot and others too, in the hope we'll find all of them once day.
Chronos did his springtime cleaning too, and what's jumped out is a bunch of rarites, especially the second side of Dark As U demo, which worked after a bit of fixing. Other programs followed too, game previews like Minesweeper V2.2, digi demos like No Sleep, tiny pretty converted games like Remember.
 In the very end, there's the mare magnum from which weird releases and rarities have been catched. Elite Trained is a rare trainer for Elite (Csory) from the author itself, working on 1551 only; and, talking about 1551 stuff and Csory, a 1551 drive version of And Justice For All popped out from nowhere; after years with the 2nd part available only, 3M Demo 1 surfaced; 1551-demo, the official demo disk for the 1551 drive has been stored too 'coz missing it here is a nonsense.
And when we find software we claimed for in years, we celebrate with all of you: Sethack, the complete D-mon, the original Chipy by Kingsoft, the most wanted Huey C-16.
Here follows the complete list of what we've added in:
Bard's Tale I Copy, Bard's Tale II Copy, Character Generator, Dir Mover, Diskyhelp, Disc Copy 1551, D-mon, IFFL Squeezer (fix/version), The Scrollhunter, Sethack, Turbo Assembler Macro, Motor Entwicklung, 3D Maze, ACE +4 (trainer), Bockgammon, Bomber Blitz, Bongo (trainer), Billiards, Boxing, Brick-it, Chipy (original), Connector, Dooly (trainer), Driver, Destructor (version), Lo Sperduto, Miner (Astralog), 1551-demo, Extra Tutti Frutti 1 +1, Extra Tutti Frutti 2 +1, Elite Trained, Froggy (APS), Hotel (German), Huey C-16, Jackpot, Jail Break (version), Minesweeper V2.2, Leaper (Star Soft), Numbers, Oel Plus/4, Light Lines, Pénzért Élet, Pilot C16, Remember, Sixteen Terror, Spy Vs Spy (crack), Spacemaze, Super Ball, Super Frog, Survival, Scramble (APS), The Tower, Way Of The Exploding Fist (crack), Wordsworth, Yhatzi, 3M Demo 1, And Justice For All (version), Carry On!, Dark As U (side 2), No Sleep, Porno Show (TBS), Inspector Gadget V4.1, Ripped Demo, Macro Asssembler, Biorhythms, Archery-16.

Thanks for the massive update Luca  It will take a while just to check it all out.
Edit: sorry guys, there was a bug in the forum code that prevented the first reply to some news items from appearing correctly. It's fixed now.

Well, not exactly, that was because I manually had to edit the "root" post. As soon as the next reply was posted (which was yours, pointing out the temporary problem ) it was gone.
