Thanks to Mayhem I've now uploaded a .prg of Headbanger's Heaven to the Archive. :D

If anyone else can get the Star Fire snapshot file to work I'd appreciate the help in noting down what settings you're using, so I can make sure it is just me making a mistake, as I still can't get it to run fully. :oops:

Added screenshots (pinched from this thread :twisted: ) to the archive games page too. :)

Here's another blast from the past, courtesy of Mayhem's investigative skills. 8)

:)

Some sort of special character generator?

Does Jeff/anyone know any more about it, such as 'controls' etc?

I'll bung it up on the Archive tomorrow. 8)

Just found this thread, anyone know where the archive went to?

http://www.llamasoftarchive.org seems to just lead to a spammy site now... :(

Yup, my domain host let the name expire without telling me in time. :twisted: :(

The Archive is offline until further notice, but you can still grab loads of old Llamasoft games direct from the official web site:

http://minotaurproject.co.uk/softography.php

If there's any not listed there that you want, post in here and I'll see if it's in the Archive. :)

Thanks for the reply, sorry to hear about your host and the archive.

I was aware of the codey / shooty / hairy one's softography, having long ago sampled it's plentiful goodies! The games I'm after now are the uncovered Vic-20 and PET titles that this thread is all about.

A quick reccy in your archive would be much appreciated! :D

Thanks for that! :D

My immeadiate interest would be in Star Fire for the PET, but if Headbanger's Heaven and Micro Breakout for the VIC are lurking in the archive as well then I wouldn't say no. :)

@PVB when you have something up again let me know I'll add a link to the LS website, currently there's a page telling that the LS archive is down and sometime will be restored.

Got to sort out a local host I reckon, so I can just give them all the files on a USB stick or summink, to save me spending days trying to upload the whole bloody thing. :roll:

Might redesign the Archive bit (to separate it completely from my old personal site) when I'm off sick after my next operation. :)

Right, here's two pages showing all the game files in the Archive at present:

http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co. ... dloads.htm

http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co. ... oads2.html

Let me know which ones you want. :)

Why not just host it as part of the actual LS website?

That could be a possibility, depends how much all that material is and if PVB would agree with it, as he was the one having all this thing in his hands a link as well could do.

I have to see how much is all that stuff and how much storage space we have.

As I know PVB at some point will have to appear somewhere around here we could discuss this during that :wink:
