OK, here's the situation; I was around in the "good old days", the days when 80-Micro still had useful information in it and SoftSide still existed. I still remember calling up The Program Store to buy new Big Five games as they appeared (the Cambridge branch of which has, horror of horrors, gone OUT OF BUSINESS). Unfortunately, these days are long past, as are many of the game manufac- turers "past". So these games are no longer available... unless I can get someone to give me a copy. If anyone out there has ANYTHING in the way of gameware for the TRS-80, could you send me a list of what you've got? And much more specifically, does anyone out there have the following games? Weerd (Big Five) Laserball (Adventure International) Rear Guard (Adventure International) Crazy Painter (Cornsoft) Apple Panic (Funsoft?) Demise (or "Defend" as it may be known; Acorn Software) I'm perfectly willing to provide a disk (or tape) for these; the only thing I've got to ask for is that you be capable of writing them in Mod I-readable for- mat (LDOS5.1.4 or TRSDOS2.3 single density, and PLEASE, not 2.3B...) I'd also trade you software that I have for stuff that you have. So, if you want a game, ask me; perhaps we'll trade. Please hurry if you reply; I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms... -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: G. T.

I have both Crazy Painter and Apple Panic on their original disks. Apple panic will not allow super U to copy it though. If you or anyone else out there can tell me why not or how I can copy it I will be happy to provide a copy for anyone who wants it. I have a long list of games on file. Give me time and I will provide a list. fo trading purposes of course. Johnw @ reed

CopyCat is capable of duplicating virtually all TRS-80 software. The company that is selling CopyCat III and IV is Omnisoft Research. You can find the ads in the 80-Micro.
