|  Car Race from Danish magazine LIST! (1988)
I recently acquired an old danish Commodore magazine and this type-in game, Car Race, by Curt Kjaersgaard was in it.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/af1yvjbs441kf9i/
It's in danish obviously so here's an explanation:
Svaerhedsgrad (1-6) : Difficulty setting (1-6)
(V)aad eller (T)oer bane : Wet or Dry track - V=Wet and T=Dry
Controls:
, = Left
. = Right

Nice find! Thanks for typing it in. I added it to the database, it is in fact our first Danish language program.
Could you please scan the front-page of the magazine and the pages that contain the listing? It would be nice to preserve those in the publications section.

Sorry for double posting, but it seems the German Car Race got mixed up with this game in the download section.

Cool, thanks! Did this magazine only have one issue?
We did have another German game listed with that name before, but I renamed it, as the title screen for that one doesn't have space. So the two games are the old CarRace and the new Car Race. Maybe you got a cached file... Hopefully it should be sorted out by now.

Yes only 1 issue was ever published.
Talk about a short lived magazine.

The same also happened to the Hungarian mag Bitvadász 1986/1  I loved reading it, but I guess the market wasn't there for it.

Are you familiar with CBM prg Studio ?
I'm trying to build "Mission Amazonas C16" from another danish magazine, TAST! issue 2 1987, and the damn thing keeps crashing with an "Unhandled exception..." when I try to build it. Aargh!
It's this magazine btw, only four was published:

Thank you for the PDF, I added the magazine to our archive and linked the programs to it. (Click New Stuff from the menu to see it.) I also typed up Super Old, but it's unclear what it does...
Unfortunately I don't know CBM prg Studio, I never used it. (Maybe someone else does?) Do you have the "source" saved? In YAPE (most popular emulator for Windows) you can copy/paste text, so maybe it's possible to quickly paste it and save the program.

Good news.
Mission Amazonas C16 works, the PETSCII just needs to be tweaked a little.
Also line 505 refers to a non existant line; 505 GOTO 240
I deleted line 505 and nothing seems to be broken.
I had to copy/paste everything into YAPE as CBM prg Studio seems to be buggy in C16/+4 mode.
Good thing I didn't have to type everything from scratch.
