Skramble! by R.W. Stevens on R36S Handheld

Post by aitsch »

I bought an R36S handheld and I'm happy with it so far.

But the VIC20 emulator seems to have problems when a program tries to load additional data from .TAP files.

My favorite game from my youth was Skramble! by R.W. Stevens (Terminal Software),
I can only find it as a .TAP file and it loads additional data.

It would be cool to be able to play it on the handheld as well.

Is there a .prg version or a .D64 file of exactly this version?
(I know there are similar versions with a different spaceship design but I'm looking for exactly this version)

Would you care to provide the *.tap file? Doing a backup copy in a similar way as shown here is probably the best bet you get exactly that version you want as *.prg file.

I did a single file version of this a while back (15 years ago apparently :) ), here: skramble.prg.
Never got around to uploading it anywhere and haven't tested it that much to be honest, but feel free to test it out.

Thanks Mike & tlr for your help.

I've tried tlr's .prg-file and it works well.

If anything, you just need to thank Daniel for his efforts.

You could have made it possible for me to help if you had attached the *.tap file in the initial post from the start. If I had gone looking for it myself, what guarantee would I have had that it was exactly the file that was right for you?

For completeness, this is the one I used: skramble_rabbit_software.tap
