OK, here's the situation; I was around in the "good old days", the days
when 80-Micro still had useful information in it and SoftSide still existed.
I still remember calling up The Program Store to buy new Big Five games
as they appeared (the Cambridge branch of which has, horror of horrors,
gone OUT OF BUSINESS).

Unfortunately, these days are long past, as are many of the game manufac-
turers "past".  So these games are no longer available... unless I can get
someone to give me a copy.  If anyone out there has ANYTHING in the way of
gameware for the TRS-80, could you send me a list of what you've got?

And much more specifically, does anyone out there have the following games?

		Weerd (Big Five)
		Laserball (Adventure International)
		Rear Guard (Adventure International)
		Crazy Painter (Cornsoft)
		Apple Panic (Funsoft?)
		Demise (or "Defend" as it may be known; Acorn Software)

I'm perfectly willing to provide a disk (or tape) for these; the only thing I've
got to ask for is that you be capable of writing them in Mod I-readable for-
mat (LDOS5.1.4 or TRSDOS2.3 single density, and PLEASE, not 2.3B...) 
I'd also trade you software that I have for stuff that you have.  So, if
you want a game, ask me; perhaps we'll trade.

Please hurry if you reply; I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms...

Summary: 

I have both Crazy Painter and Apple Panic on
their original disks. Apple panic will not
allow super U to copy it though. If you or
anyone else out there can tell me why not or
how I can copy it I will be happy to provide a
copy for anyone who wants it.  I have a long
list of games on file. Give me time and I will
provide a list. fo trading purposes of course.

Try backing-up copy-protected disks with CopyCat III or IV,
if Super U won't do the job. CopyCat is capable of duplicating
virtually all TRS-80 software. The company that is selling
CopyCat III and IV is Omnisoft Research. You can find the
ads in the 80-Micro.
