• Favorite Games from Loadstar

    From Snogpitch@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 2 10:38:33 2021
    Many years ago I managed to get an image of this 1581 formatted collection of games from Loadstar. A couple of them I really like on a regular basis. It includes Free Cell, Mine Sweeper, Shisen-Sho, Plumb Crazy, Jam, Quadpawn, Loco, 4-Duko, and
    Shamrocks. My disk over the years became corrupted, and I have been having a hard time locating the original image in my collection in order to create a new disk. Does anyone remember seeing this disk image collection, or has it available to share?
    Gamebase has a few of the individual games, but not all of them.

    Thanks

    The collection was not from a single issue, but the games came from multiple issues spanning from 1997 to 2008, When you quit at the main menu a screen comes up saying: Brought to you by LOADSTAR DotBASIC PLUS!

    I found my original archive. The title of the archive was games-by-dmm.d81. My guess it was part of a collection from eLoadstar. Time stamp on the file was from 2013.

    I thank you for the e-,mail. :) One question: I have a C64C at my mother's house, and it has a 1541 drive as Device 8 and a 1541-II as Device 9 but no 1581. How do I make copies of individual games from the disk image? My mother might like Shamrock.
    :)
