Hi guys
I was just wondering if anyone knows where I could get my grubby little hands on "Dino Wars" which ran on an old Tandy TRS-80, and which emulator I would need to run it on my PC (WinXP)?

It was the very first game I ever played, and sadly that moment happened over 20 years ago - where does the time go? (Oh, hang on, I know, it goes quite fast when you're playing all these Abandonian games )

I'd also appreciate directions to find the skiing "simulator" that was released at the same time (and for the same platform) even though "simulator" might be a generous word for this little game. Funnily enough, I think the game was titled "Skiing."

I'd love it if Abandonia was able to host these old gems, if my memory serves there are at least 20 different titles. They are what started me at the tender age of 4 to become a unashamed game-nerd. I remeber playing Dino Wars over and over again just so I could hear the thrilling roar of the opponent dinosaur as you ripped his blocky, pixilated body to shreds - for me, that odd synthesized speaker shriek was the 8th Wonder Of The Modern World! The height of mankinds achievment and prowess! Sadly, my parents just found it irritating

I'm sorry but there is a fairly strict "No ROMS" policy on Abandonia.

For TRS-80 emulators, please check the Wikipedia page.
