Here is a wonderful collection of Cartridge games. It is a double-side diskette, in this post you will find the side A. Each game can be selected from a handy boot menu.
In order to run this games, you need a switchable RAM expansion such as the one we reviewed here, or an emulator such as VICE (just make sure to activate expansion memory blocks in the Settings).
Each game requires expansion memory Block 5 active and (depending on the game) block 3 or block 1. The memory requirement is displayed in the loading screen of the game. At the end of the loading process, you might have to reset your VIC or emulator. If the game doesn’t work, most likely you have a wrong memory expansion setup so check it and retry.
All these games should be the PAL versions but might work also on the NTSC version of the VIC.
Here is the list of the included games:
- DONKEY KONG (blocks 1+5)
- JUNGLE HUNT
- POLE POSITION
- MS. PACMAN
- MOON PATROL
- OMEGA RACE
- BATTLE ZONE (blocks 3+5)
- BUCK ROGERS (blocks 3+5)
- DIG DUG (blocks 1+5)
- DEFENDER (blocks 3+5)
Load and run the MENU program with: LOAD “MENU*”,8 and RUN to launch each game with ease.
