SKATEBOARD CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

(C)1988 Players Software

------------------------------



Just a quick note to go with this hack. This recently turned up as a

"Missing in Action" game, which wasn't strictly true but almost was. The

demo game which came with the package was available as a snap, but the

editor itself wasn't.



Seeing as I had an original tape I made a TZX file for archive purposes.

This was all well and good, but then I discovered that the load and save

routines within the game used their own routines and not ROM code, so

they didn't work with emulator TAP support. Hence the construction

system itself was next to useless unless you had a real Speccy.



So, brandishing my newly-learned hacking skills I have produced this TAP

version from my original TZX. It's fully cracked and normal-filed, so it

should go onto disk without too many hassles. It's also packed with

Turbo Imploder, so it doesn't take so long to load now that the

turbo-loader has been removed. Best of all though, I've hacked the main

code to use the standard ROM loading and saving routines, so you can now

load and save to TAP files to your heart's content to produce fancy new

skateboard games using your emulator! Enjoy!





And with that, he fled into the night!
