Christmas 1995, Games disc 2, anyone got a copy which they could zip and send?

What I want from it is the ICI playable Fistlore Demo, it also had the Blu Gfx demo on it.

Much Apreciated.

Hi Eddy,

I've got the disk you want - coincidentally, just been up in the roof to get the old stuff down for my ageing A410 - but I'm not sure of the best way to zip an Acorn format disk from Windows. Perhaps you could advise. If necessary, I'll happily stick a copy in the post.

Any problems let me know as I should still have this disc as well.

Think I've done it now. On its way to you Eddy. Bit of disk swapping between machines etc... It's been a while since I grappled with Acorn file formats.

Thats brilliant Terry many thanks, all in working order smile

If anybody needs anything else from this disk i'll be happy to oblige. At some point i'll put the FistLore demo on the AA sever, as its seemingly impossible to find it anywhere else.

Amazing graphics. I remember playing the demo. Must be impossible to get hold of now.

True unhappy. Was it ICS which went bust or Mystery software? (or both?)

No it was definitely ICS as there was a final advert saying 'closing down' I think and a news article in Acorn User. One a several good dealers which have gone or abandoned RISC OS.

Great. Probably be a case of digging out the A3010 though to play it.
