DRUCKER LIST (unexpanded): Utility: Scan a tape and print all filenames and lengths
FLOWERS II (unexpanded VIC): Plant and water flowers. Joystick up = get seeds, joystick down = get water. You can't get water if you have more than 2 seeds, and can't get seeds if you have more than 50 water. Get enough points in 30 seconds to advance to the next round
DINO EGGS (unexpanded VIC): Collect the Dino eggs, push fire-button to jump in walking direction. Push joystick up to just jump upwards. You can only carry 3 eggs max and need to return those to the time portal at the top right corner. Quirk: You have to answer "Play again" with "J", not "Y" (original error preserved...)
I know the feeling, It is especially wonderful to come across a real 'gem' like Dino Eggs. It is one of those special games that when you lose a life, you keep telling yourself "I know what I did wrong - I won't make that mistake again". You keep giving it just one more try to beat your own score.
THE CASTLE OF DR. CREEP (unexpanded VIC): Flee the castle. Use joystick or keys A Z B M N (O to start). At some places you need to do double-jumps. Do these by pressing fire and then the direction immediately afterwards (not at the same time).
CATCHGO (unexpanded VIC): Eat the dots, then get the key and go to the lock. Use keys Space J B M
I had bought issues 5/86 to 1/87 and could scan the VC-20 listings if you are missing out on some of them. A couple of years ago, I transferred Mad Rush (7/86) to d64, so I could put it somewhere, if needed (one of our favourites in 86 and later).
Others may still be on the old tapes, but i didn't have the time yet, to transfer all of it.
Buy the new Bug-Wizard, the first 100 bugs are free!
I've typed in most of the listing back in the 80s and am just catching up now with some I didn't type in. Scanning is not really an option. The work needed after scanning is about the same as typing in the first place. I have all Compute mit issues from 5/85 to 8/88. At the moment I have all type-ins up to issue 7/87. Just a few issues to go. Listing for the VIC got down to about just one per magazine in 87 and the last listing was in issue 3/88.
It's true that there were some more prolific authors providing several programs. Also, sadly, stealing code or even full programs elsewhere was quite common back then...
Do you have programming credits for Flipper Ball and Sub-Zone from the magazines? Those were the only ones from the programs you've posted so far that appear to have no in-game credits for me to reference.
