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
