Thanks for posting those download links, My upload speed is so poor I'm unable to do it myself.

I'm currently working on the final V1.0 release which should be released before the end of the year. I've not been able to source any of the missing games so the only new additions will be games from books & magazines, and all the Cassette 50 rubbish plus a few odds and ends. Expect a total game count of between 900 and 1000 entries.

Why don't you post a list of the missing entries on here Tubbs and see if us gamebasers can source them?

I have poked around for a few of them before & found one called Awari, but wasn't sure it was the same game. Most of the sources around have it.
I have a lot of respect for Gamebase creators, maintainers & supporters.

Found some stuff in here - http://twilighte.oric.org/twinew/start.htm that's not in the gamebase.

Also some of the stuff is on the french CEO-mag if anyone has access to them.

Noticed a few extras like wav's and disks need to be set to use GEMUS and not STANDARD.

Thanks for the help guys! I've deliberately omitted a few of the Twilighte games (Squeek1 and Minesweeper) since they are very badly bugged making them completely unplayable. I'll probably add them anyway for completions sake.

I've been searching for the Rhetoric disks for ages but the simply don't appear to exist anywhere online :(

Thanks OX for the new GEMUS script!

There are two versions of 'Awari' for the Oric, the version by Geoff Phillips is very common so I suspect it's this version you found.

I will do that but I have contacted Symoon who currently updates Oric.Org and he doesn't have any of the missing games, and he has far more contacts in the Oric world than myself being a member of the CEO group.

A few of the missing games (including some not listed above) are type-in's from magazines so good scans would be required for them (scans exist for a few but are barely legible).

Edit - Forgot to mention I'm a member of the Oric site 'Defence Force' and have requested help there but it seems nobody has any rare games (apart from Didier Vallet who supplied 'Quark 3D Invaders')

Hi Tubbs
Nice GameBase.

Just updated, cleaned up and compacted the screenshot folder in your gamebase.

you had a mixture of Png, Gif and Bmp format in 770 folders.
they are all png and just in 27 folders now.

Fixed a few broken GEMUS links in the extras.

NEW settings.ini to show correct picture size.

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-04d01ce7.html

If you want to use these, you must delete the old screenshot folder and replace with the one in this archive.
and use the updated mdb file with the new screenshot locations.

Thanks! All help is greatly appreciated. We're currently having a bank-holiday party and the drinks are flowing well so I'll check out your work tomorrow :)
