Subject: New versions of JSW and MM games discovered!!!
While browsing the Web for things JSW-related, I have come across
some versions of JSW and MM games which I believe have not been
mentioned here before, and so I would like to bring them to the
attention of the Group:
1. A Russian 128K hack of "Maria vs. Some Bastards"
It is a TAP file apparently converted from a TR-DOS format file, with
an intro with AY music, a modified title screen, a modified cheat
menu, etc. I do not see it as having any special advantage over the
original, but it certainly is a nice curiosity :-) .
It can be downloaded from:
http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/TRD/TRDosReCracks.html
or
http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/yu/TRDosReCracks.html .
2. A Russian hack of the original "Manic Miner"
A similar story. A TAP file converted from a TR-DOS format file, with
an intro with AY music, a cheat menu, a lengthy description in
Russian, etc.
It can also be downloaded from:
http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/TRD/TRDosReCracks.html
or
http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/yu/TRDosReCracks.html .
For your convenience, I have uploaded both of the above files to the
Files section of the Group (file names: "MariaVsSomeBastards_128.tap"
and "ManicMiner+3.tap").
3 and 4. Two cracked versions of "Jet Set Willy II" from the former
Yugoslavia
They can be downloaded from:
http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/yu/ZX_list.php
from the last section ("Razdrte Igre / Cracks").
I did not think them worthy of uploading to the Files section of the
Group.
Furthermore, as you probably know, a number of older JSW and MM
games in SCL file format can be downloaded from:
http://trd.speccy.cz/g/game_j.htm
and
http://trd.speccy.cz/g/game_m.htm .

P.S. I am still waiting for tips on "Maria vs. Some Bastards"...
