Here's a little Christmas present for all of you.
Some of you may recall that Cronosoft (http://www.cronosoft.co.uk/) used to sell some text adventures that were written by Jason Davis and originally published by WoW Software during the early 1990s. I helped Simon Ullyatt, who runs Cronosoft, by providing new loading screens and master copies of the new versions. Because they were being sold commercially, Jason had requested that they were removed from the NVG FTP site so they would no longer be freely available for downloading. (At the time, NVG was the major download site for CPC games, and CPC-POWER and CPCRulez didn't exist yet.)
However, the games have not been available for purchasing for several years. Well, following some discussions with Simon Ullyatt and Jason Davis, they are now freely available to download from NVG once more! :)

Wow, has it been so many years? I do have the tapes I bought from Cronosoft back then - these were among the very first 'modern' physical releases for the CPC
