Snake Byte is up on Oric.org, together with the Sirius manual.

Original Apple manual text for Snake Byte is at https://archive.org/stream/sirius_snak ... _djvu.txt

No plums, and therefore no option to change playing keys on our version (unless I've misread the text )

It was ported to the Pravetz 8D - see https://hirudov.com/oric/Snake-Byte.php

Perhaps switch to Pravetz ROM?

It's now up on Oric.org, thanks for the nudge!

Just a few translations of French programmes: By Laurent C - Masque d'Or (Golden Mask) Princesse Aurorre 2 By myself - Millionaire Tour du Monde (Around the World in 80 Days) Sinistre Epopée (Sinister Epic) Easytext Lorigraph 1815 Robinson Crusoe And one unattributed - probably Laurent C. Oeil de Zo...

Thanks, details updated.

Originally it was Norsoft, but I believe NML must have licensed it from them, if only for their UK English language release of the title (perhaps because they lacked their own role-play dungeon game!) Another example is The Hare and the Tortoise, which in the original French is called "Le Livre...

Hi Dave,

Don't despair! I've religiously downloaded each addition to this thread, I just need to find the time to check them and upload to Oric.org

Btw, the Monopoly you recently uploaded was written by my son Nick back in the day!

Keep up the good work!

To my knowledge the only French software house to release its catalogue of French titles in English was indeed No Man's Land - give me a day or so and I'll post a full list. The next source of French software translated into English is the CEO English discs, which contained quite a few translations ...

Ray, I've found a Sedoric disk that announces itself in the first sector as 'V1.006 01/01/86' described by André as the original release of Sedoric. It is a Master disk containing the first issue of the Club Oric International Journal from January 1987, so only a year on. I've sent you a Private Mes...

This is interesting. Here in the UK we long used V1.7 before you produced V2.0 for expanded disk storage. However, it seems V1.7 arose from some early bug fixes by yourself. The original release in France appears to have been V1.006 : To quote André in Sedoric 3.0 à Nu, p.616 (link above, my transla...

Hi Chema,

a) True!
b) this is odd, it downloads as a 1.6Mb PDF file, best to Acrobat Reader, where it is fully formatted and complete. Annex 17 is at page 569, Annex 23 at page 611.

Lots of info (to V3.0) in 'Sedoric à Nu' by Andrê, particularly Annexes 17 (bugs) and 23 (different OSs). V4.0 simply (?) added multiple directories. Available here: https://library.defence-force.org/index.php?content=any&page=books&sort_by=name&freesearch=sedoric/ I believe both V3.0 an...

Great stuff, RK!

BTW, you can break out of unprotected Basic programs with CTRL-C
You can also usually prevent autorun on an unprotected Basic or M/C program with CLOAD"",N

Enjoy!
