Remember Sensible Startest?
« on: November 14, 2006, 06:12:04 AM »
I believe it was on Amiga Power 13 coverdisk.

I'd love to actually get hold of a copy of it!

Either (preferably) just the executable, or an image of the coverdisc would be great, if anybody could give me a copy.

I believe it was only PD, so the legality shouldn't be a problem.

Thankyou if anybody can help me. :-)


--- edit:

Actually, if anybody could just give a list of what the questions in the game were, that would be EVEN BETTER!

Ta! :-)

I've got loads of coverdisks at home, I'll have to check of I have this one (probably not, but who knows?)

Yes, I too had this coverdisk - I believe a demo of Pinball Dreams was also included on the second disk.

Unfortunately, I managed to overwrite the disk with a rather poor rolling demo of 'Hook' before I ever had a chance to play 'Sensible Startest', however the screenshot and description sounded terrific.

Was there not a television show on Channel4 around that time (early 90s) in which celebrities would be interviewed by a mysterious computer voice, selecting questions by touching buttons on the camera lens?

Gosh, now I'm showing my age!

Well, I would certainly love to find a copy of Sensible Startest also.  Anybody?

Take care,
James

Well, after a little searching, it would appear that we are out of luck.  The disk has some kind of copy protection, preventing simple ADF dumping.  An IPF dump would be possible, however I gather coverdisks are no a high priority for the SPS.

What a shame...and I came so close too - I found AP13b, just not AP13a. ;(

Take care,
James

Well, the speech isn't quite as good as I had hoped, but it's a little bit of harmless fun, none the less.

It's also interesting to take a look at the early Sensible Soccer demo (without CPU AI!)

Thanks again,
James

Can anybody tell me what some of the questions were?
