Thank you for this, Eslapion. I bought a couple of those CES products recently, and I find they're a nice attempt to offer something 'serious' for the frindly computer, which, at least here in Italy, was more seen as a game machine.
Although it seems no-one has replied, I would like to thank you for archiving these Educational tape books. When I was a child (soooo long ago), I actually had a few of these (the Learning French one comes to mind). Again, thank you eslapion.

Hello again, eslapion. This weekend I played my way through the Cymbal 20-game collection (thanks btw, memories). I just thought you'd like to know the following four games didn't work in the VICE 2.3 emulator:
(1) Frogs
(2) Ice
(3) Rotate
(4) Convention
Perhaps you can fix them or know somebody who could. Thanks again for preserving these.

AFAIK, these 4 games had copy protection in the form of extra data hidden in the filename.
This places machine code in the tape buffer. All 4 of these games work perfectly well on a real unexpanded VIC-20 so I assume at this point the problem to be with the emulator.
