Amsoft Software Catalogue

[tmcd35]

Hi,


I'm trying to build a personal digital archive for the CPC.  I found this link via google: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/amsoft-software-catalogues-are-they-online/ - unfortunately the 85/6 catalogue scan file is no longer live/shared.  I tried the cpcwiki entry (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Amsoft_Software_Catalogue_Winter_1985/6) but that seems to be garbage. 


Does anyone have a copy of the '85 catalogue they can share?  I found the '84 and '86 catalogues on CPC-Power (http://www.cpc-power.com/cpcarchives/index.php?page=articles&num=104)


Thanks

Damn... I had this
Kept it for about 20 years.
But then I guess I lost it about 8 years ago when we moved to the new house. Pity - I would have scanned it for you.

I have this one. It has about 29 pages. Contains games, hardware etc




Sample page

I have the Winter '85. Scanned by the excellent Richard Shaw-Wright for me to use on ChinnyVision. It's 103 meg though and I have the worlds slowest broadband and not sure I'll be thanked for uploading it to the forum.

Connection speed aside, you could probably upload it to dropbox/mega/google drive in it current state. Someone could probably be able to have a go at compressing it and then it could find a permanent home at the Wiki.


Better than sitting on your hard drive anyway!

Happy to do that but someone needs to DM me who wants to do this so I can sort the transfer rather than post it publicly.

Right, until I (or possibly someone else?) properly ups it to the wiki, try this: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/Amsoft_Winter_85_86_Catalogue/


Credit where credit's due: thanks to @seanb who sent them to me a while ago

The page that's rubbish was my poor attempt to make a wikipage for the catalogue I scanned. 
I just couldn't get it to work

Ahhh yes I remember discussing it with you now, I think I had said I'd take a look but never did. Ok, one more for my to-do list!

I've enjoyed looking through the pages of the 85/86 catalogue again for first time in years

One thing I've noticed which I didn't remember - One page lists Congo Bongo and shows a screenshot from the original Sega Master System version.

That game never actually made it to the CPC did it?

No - and neither did Buck Rogers (which is advertised on the same page) - although Amstrad Computer User published a type-in called Duck Dodgers which has very similar gameplay.

Pity... I rather enjoyed playing Congo Bongo on my cousin's sega back in the day
