The original QL games cartridge supplied with the QL has been available from
the Games page on my website for a while now. It includes the games Pirate,
Zfred, Gun, Breakout and Hunt (Treasure Hunt).
Sadly, it turns out it was partly broken all along. If you downloaded this
before today (27/03/14) you may find it does not work due to a missing file
called 'mc' which caused the Breakout game to fail, so you should download
the amended version uploaded there today.
The problem areas have been rectified and/or improved by Rich Mellor, many
thanks Rich. This now needs Toolkit II to get the Zfred game to work on more
than a standard 128K RAM QL. Rich has also added a MODE 8 command at the
start of the Treasure Hunt game to improve the look of the display when it
is first run and supplied the ‘mc’ file which was missing from the earlier
version.
I’ve also added a scanned PDF of the original 2-page instructions letter
sent out by Sinclair with the QL Games Cartridge.
Download both from the Games page on my website:
