|  Rebel Planet | | Posted by Csabo on 2012-08-31 |
 Let's imagine that one fine sunny day in 1986, a young Plus/4 fan visited his C64 and/or ZX Spectrum owner friend. At their place, he saw a new exciting game called Rebel Planet. While reading the cover, his eyes picked up on the following words: "When loading REBEL PLANET for a Commodore 16 or PLUS 4 computer, ..." He held the piece of paper high and after a triumphant exclamation, he rushed out the door and towards the nearest software shop, much to his friend's bewilderment. "I must have this game!" he murmured. However, store after store the answer was the same: we don't have this title for the C16/Plus4. Once reality started to sink in, our young Plus/4 fan started wailing...
Dry up your tears dear imaginary youngster, for the long awaited day is here! Rebel Planet is a GTW (Game That Wasn't) no more, it now exists on the Commodore Plus/4 (unfortunately it requires 64K RAM extension on the C16). So, after that lengthy intro, what are we really dealing with? It's a standard text adventure with hires graphics, and not an easy one. The story is based on the Fighting Fantasy book. The game also contains a built in manual (which in turn contains some info necessary to complete the game). Give it a try if you're so inclined. Enjoy! |

| | Kinder Koncepts: One Down, Four Still Around | | Posted by Luca on 2012-08-28 |
 Letter Match/More Or Less is now the only completely covered title of the 5 releases series Kinder Koncepts here at Plus/4 World: manual, additional material, box covers, disk and tapes! They're all educational courses for kids released under the Commodore Business Machines, Inc. label created by Michael Horner of Midwest Software in the early period of the 264 series machines.
Of those 5 releases, we've collected in the past several slices of their existence, from box covers to some sparse programs. Having a complete one, let us know more about all the others: any title includes one diskette with the main programs, and two tapes with 8 lessons, 2 any tape side. The disk has a sort of copy protection, obtained placing an "error 22" into the empty and free track 18 sector 18. All the stuff included is strictly NTSC compatible only, although they're all written mainly in Basic.
Got one, the hunt for the others won't stop. |
