Hi All,

Found this great article by Bruce Robinson who wrote loads of games for Mogul & Victory Software

Well worth a read and has some invaluable history about both software houses and some scans too:

Scan of a Nufekop Catalogue:

Some background info on the game Skramble by Rabbit & Terminal (includes a quote from the author R.W.Stevens)

Just before the FIFA world cup right ? :wink:

Your coach is Italian so you may have great hopes this time :wink:

He trained my favorite team and won a championship some year ago... :cry:

Audiogenic released a number of UMI games under its own label in the UK, most on tape but some of the cartridges too. This is one of them. For some reason I hadn't gotten around to adding the UK packaging to GB20, although the game code is 100% exact (no PAL modifications made afaik).

I had no idea that the graphics in Cloudburst should represent wasps!!!

gamebase 20

Post by llcameron »

I have scoured the web looking for Mayhems gamebase20 and I cannot find it anywhere! Torrents are dead, sites are down, nothing. From recent posts it appears that people have recently downloaded it. Can anyone tell me where to find it??

There was one on the PirateBay too, but appears to have expired/disappeared now... hopefully UG can help out (but you do need to be a member).

Zimmers has 2 rom image versions for both PAL and NTSC.

I've got several of the Audiogenic cartridges and didn't notice a difference between them and the original NTSC releases. I could be wrong of course mind you...

gamebase20 is awesome!

I can't believe how cool this is!

Short wish list:

1. for some reason not all of the games will load with a double click. You have to go to the 'extras' button, and select CART for instance to load the cartridge. From the explorer view it doesn't appear the game is there, but it actually is. Maybe something with my setup? I dunno.

2. more user-supported-friendly. I would love to be able to add games and submit them for inclusion. For example, I always liked the game 'cabby', but its not there. I could easily include it, but all the benefits is myself. It seems like this is sort of a solo project for Mayhem. Although I could email him to include it I suppose, I don't particularly want to pester him.
