Just a quick note to let you know of a game not mentioned in the 'missing in action section'. The game is a text adventure caslled WONDERWORM and was reviewed in the May 1984 issue of Big K magazine.

I'd love a copy!

    Unfortunately it's not always possible to recover each and every MIA or uMIA no matter how hard we try :-/. Sometimes people have them and don't realise, you'd be surprised.

    For instance I TZXed a 'backup' copy tape from a mate and it contained a title called 'Worm' by Michael Andreasen and it was different from the one we had on WoS, with a loading screen and all:

    Which you can grab from here:

    Just checking this reveals that it was modified and re-released over the years:

    Will have to compare them now.....

    And I wondered how did you found the old Attactics Thread from 2004, that was 8 year ago.

    Hmm, I think I just found a false STP and derivative of Worm by Michael Andreasen.

    ... apparently by Josephine Downer, but it appears to be the same as Worm. It's unlikely we'll ever get a true TZX as it wasn't a commercial release. In fact a modification, if any were made, aside from putting their name into it ?

    I did make contact with Michael Andreasen a number of years ago, seeking permission, but he was puzzled as to why anyone would be interested and didn't respond to further e-mails. So I guess he would be okay with it being on WoS ?

    I guess it opens another can of 'worms' *slaps forehead*... lol.
