The Story So Far ..... After 200 Menu Disks captures....


This is being written just as the first 200 captures have been made, on January 2, 2019.

This posting will just be an overview of what has been captured, and what disks are still missing at this time, out of the groups I have been working on.  For most groups, except Automation, I have made it to their 10th released disk, if the group lasted that long.  This posting is going up the same day as Automation CD #54 is being posted!


So, lets hit each group other than Automation one at a time:

Analog Bubble Bath - Captured disks 1 to 3. Disk 4 is a simple screen, and may be done later.  It is unknown to me if any further disks were released.

Broken Lance - Captured disk 6. Disks 1-5 are missing. Unknown how many more there may be.

The Crack Connexion - Captured disks 1-5. Unknown if any additional disks were released.

Conan - Captured disk 3. Disks 1-2 are missing. Unknown if there are more.

Crime - Captured disks 1, 3, 4, 7-9.  Disks 2, 5, & 6 are missing. Unsure if more were released.

The Deliverance - Captured disks 1, 2, and 4-8.  Disk 10 is missing, and so are disk 3 and 9, but I have seen pictures of both menus.  The disk series continues to at least a 23rd volume.

Deep Thought's - Captured disk 1. Unsure if more exist.

DiskMap Crew - Captured disk 1-7, and 9.  Disks 8 and 10 are missing.  The series ends at disk 11.

Dream Weavers - Captured disks 1, 2, 4, and 8-10.  Disks 3, 5, 6, and 7 are missing.  I also have an earlier version of disk 8 that has not yet been captured as I have not been able to extract the scroll text yet.  The disk series continues to volume 23.

Evil Force - I have captured disks 0, 2-10.  Disk 1 is missing.  The capture for disk 4 has not yet been released due to a YouTube copyright issue.  There are many more disks still to come.

Evolution - Disks 1-6 have been captured. Unsure if more were released.

Federation Of Free Traders - Disks 1-7 have been captured. Disks 8-10 are pending due to problems extracting the scroll text.  There are many more disks still to come.

Justice Department - Disks 2, 3, and 6 have been captured. Disks 1, 4, and 5 are missing.  Unknown if more were released.

Mantronix - Disks 4-7, 9, and 10 have been captured.  Disks 1, 2, 3, and 8 are missing.  Disk 7 is also missing, though the executable menu is available (used for the capture).  The last known Mantronix release was volume 11.

The Medway Boys - Disks 1-10 have been captured. Many more to come.

New Order - Disks 2-9 have been captured with disk 10 coming soon.  Disk 1 is missing, and there are many more releases.

Pompey Pirates - Disks 1-6, 8, and 9 have been captured with disk 10 coming soon.  Disk 7 has been skipped since it is a simple menu and may appear later.  Many more disks to come.

Random Access - Disks 1-3 have been captured. Unknown if more disks exist.

Revolution - Disks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 have been captured with disk 10 coming soon.  Disk 3 is missing, but I have seen a picture from it, and disk 5 is also missing.  The series continues to disk 22.
