I believe that the name of this game is incorrect.

Lemon 64 calls this game (it's the same, compare the graphics) Aussie Games


There are more problems with it.

Tap version says proudly: Broken by Bill Gilbert 1991 :) and is a hacked version.

The loading screen from tzx version, as I strongly suspect, isn't proper. It is some campaign against drugs, which I have seen added to some other Spanisher games. I can't believe that this game doesn't have its own loading screen.

So I believe it should be tzxed from the beginning. Anybody has a copy?

    I think the name is correct, "Asutralian Games" but as you said, there is a cracked version hehe.

    Let's wait for the boss! :D

    We cannot currently be certain of the title, as we don't have any inlay (the official title for Infoseek is what is written on the spine of the original inlay), nor does Lemon64.

    Of course, I could update the TAP sub-record to say it is a hacked copy, as well as add the C64 reference. Both have been done.

    Edit: it seems interesting that the first BASIC block of the tzx image is named "Aussie Gam". Perhaps an alias is in order for the time being.

    I agree that alias is the best thing at the moment. This game is really confusing. Meanwhile, I checked Microhobby and it calls it Australian Games but I have also found this:

    It's inlay for Commodore and it says Aussie Games.
    Unless the game is found, it will be difficult to solve it.

    I have the game, bought it last year. When I go back to Spain in May I will check that out!

    It's a chance what someone of artists will try to convert another inlay to speccy screen...
