    After checking my tapes again, I've found the following without inlays...

    Road Race
    Batty
    Mantronix
    Skateboard Construction
    Survivor
    Explorer

    Alternatively, if anyone has any inlays for these without tapes, drop me a line please.

    If you're still looking then I've got a few of these at home *somewhere*.
    I only say IF because somewhere could be anywhere and I'm not looking if you're not.:lol:

    What if there are no covers available?

    Are you looking for a TZX dump of the WHOLE tape, or do you want the real tape?

    I have a few of those mentioned in my own collection and am willing to TZX them, but am not willing to part with them.

    EDIT: Just spotted how old this thread is - Are you still looking dude?
    Oh bugger!<br>

    Sorry for resurrecting it.:grin:

    I'm ok with parting with my cover tapes, not sure how many are with covers though.

    They all came with covers afaik, it's just that the early covers were part of the magazine page - not many people nowadays are gonna be prepared to chop up their old magazines.

    It's no problem bringing up old threads, so long as they are relevant (I suppose). Rest assured, the moderators will soon let you know if you displease them. I think Foggy once banned some poor noob from breathing in - out was okay, but in was a no no.

    Actually, I remember now - Foggy banned him from breathing in, Martijn banned him from breathing out. We all had quite a laugh about that one.
    Oh bugger!<br>

    Batty and Road Race didn't have any form of cover. The tapes were stuck to the front cover and there was no inlay to cut out within the magazine.

    It's OK, I've got asthma so I'd have them up before a tribunal before they could say "Bloody hell, that guy with the breathing problem has hoisted up in front of a tribunal".

    As for the thread itself, I've just joined today, not been on WoS for a couple of years (I think my last action was sending Llamasoft's Psychedelia to someone as part of the MIA Request) and recognised a lot of the games on the list.

    I've definitely played all those below from the cover tapes - whether I've still got them is another question, but I've never knowingly binned anything Speccy related (still got that awful Cheetah joystick that wasn't for left-handers!).

    Is there a standard format for people listing their games or is it simply Game Title, Publisher, Year, Memory Required?

    It would only take me a couple of hours to knock a list up if it's worth doing.

    For what purpose?

    I'd best leave that question for the Preservation Team I suppose....

    Mostly for the Preservation Team to spot anything that may be of interest I guess. Or anyone else who is interested.

    Batty didn't have an inlay (or a case of any kind).
