Hi

Can anyone point me towards a disk images of:
  1. Galaxy Invasion Plus (Dual boot)
  2. Radio Shack - Games pack 1 - (Dual boot)
  3. Radio Shack - Games pack 3 - (Dual boot)
These must be lurking out there somewhere...

Many thanks in advance.
 
Hi Pete

Thanks for the link; I use it quite often. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able locate the specific images that I seek (dual booting dsk, dmk or jv3).
 
Ah, so there was a dual boot release version of each of these?
 
A working dual boot image might be a little tricky to find. I had pirates of some of these dual-boot disks that came with the TRS-80 I bought at a garage sale a lifetime ago, but they were copied on a Model I so they didn't include the double-density sector that made them bootable on a Model III. ;)
 
A little further investigation appears to reveal that Games Pack 1 (Big 5 / Tandy) didn't exist because the name would be too similar to their earlier level 1 Games Pack 1 (they may have underestimated us). However, I have Games Pack 2 (dual) and three does appear to be out there.


As for dual boot Galaxy Invasion Plus, I still have no confirmed information as to whether it was ever released in this form. Images that I do have are:
  • Attack force
  • Cosmic fighter
  • Defense command
  • Galaxy invasion
  • Meteor mission II
  • Robot attack
So, any pointers to Tandy Games Pack 3 (disk version) and the release disk of Galaxy Invasion Plus are still of great interest to myself. Many thanks again for any thoughts on the matter.

The location is a bit of a mix I'm afraid but only the usual archives including TRS-80.COM. I have put a link to my images for Big 5 which are stored as DMK, DSK and HFE.
