geoSpell v1.0 | Category: Grammar [GEOS] | 10-08-24 |
GeoSpell v1.0 by J.E. Sears (July 1996) - over a year ago, I posted a GEOS program I called geoSpeller which seemed like a nice spelling program that acted sort of like flash cards. Well, I wasn't able to use the program because what I had found didn't include any word lists and I didn't know how to create the lists. Fast forward to a few days ago, and guess who came to the rescure? Yup, Bruce Thomas! Bruce also found this missing list of words intriguing and made a few attempts at creating the lists, even writing a program in dreaded geoBASIC; which turned out to be too buggy to be of use. Well Bruce doesn't give up easy, and went on a hunt for the missing list generator. Long story a bit shorter.... Bruce was succesfull! In this archive, you will find not only geoSpell and the word list generator, but also several lists of words Bruce created. There is a readme text file with additional information on the two disk set called "Sears1" & "Sears2". Wait!... that's not all! In addition too geoSpell, the word list generator and a bunch of lists, you will also find NOT 1... BUT 2! additional programs by J.E. Sears. I have posted both of these programs, Click the SUBJECT and geoCinquain seperately because I can only get so many screenshots in a single post. Thank you Bruce for taking the time to hunt down the list generator and additional programs. Lastly - There is a secret game inside of geoSpell that I haven't mentioned or included screenshots of. It doesn't have anything to do with spelling, but is just as entertaining, maybe you can find it also. | Platform: Commodore 64 |
geoCinquain [GEOS] | Category: Grammar [GEOS] | 10-07-24 |
geoCinquain by J.E. Sears (July 1996) is a simple educational program for GEOS on the Commodore 64 or Commodore 128 (40 column mode). A cinquain is a five line poem that you can create with this program by inputing words that the computer asks for. Thanks to Bruce Thomas for sharing this and a few other programs by J.E. Sears which he located recently while doing a hunt for the ListGen10 utility that accompanied the GeoSpell game also by J.E. Sears. Stay tuned for some additional programs and research found by Bruce. | Platform: Commodore 64 |

Dir Master v1.0 RTN | Category: DirMaster | 09-13-24 |
Dir Master v1.0 RTN - This is an updated version of the original v1 of Dir Master by Wim Taymans which was released by the magazine 64'er. This version has been updated in August 2024 by Wilfred, one of our generous visitors who spent a lot of time hunting down a bug in machine code (he didn't have the source code) that causes the color cycled text highlighting routine to not show in the menus. Unfortunately, it turns out that this bug is only apparent in the CCS64 Emulator. That doesn't mean there isn't some legitametly bad code in the original, it just doesn't seem to affect anything but CCS64 (original works ok in Vice and Z64k). Thank you Wilfred for taking the time to solve this puzzle and make available a fully working version for all Commodore 64 emulators. | Platform: Commodore 64 |

Congratulations on having purchased a serial, impact dot matrix printer that offers you more quality, greater flexibility and convenience, and superior reliability than you could find in any other printer in the same price range. As you already know (or are about to learn), the Gemini-10X and Gemini-15X let you print both regular and italicized alphabets, as well as normal, elite (smaller), condensed, enlarged, emphasized, and double-strike The graphics capability provided by the Gemini printers is limited only by your graphic talents, and includes three bit-image modes: Low Resolution (60 by 72 dots per square inch), High Resolution (120 by 144) and Ultra High Resolution (240 by 144). With all this printing power at your fingertips, what are you waiting for? Let's get started! Thanks to C. Hicks for providing this extended version of the Star Gemini Manual which is much more complete than other versions found around the net (277 pages vs. 127 pages). | ||

Spelling Critter | Category: Grammar (Educational) | 09-02-24 |
Spelling Critter by Baracuda is a neat educational tool for teaching kids how to spell on the Commodore 64. What makes this program so neat, is that it uses S.A.M. the software automated mouth to communicate with the user. The way the game works is; someone (presumably a parent) puts in a list of words spelled correctly, then the child is asked to spell those words as they are presented. It's a bit like flashcards in that each word is briefly shown to the child before being asked to input the correct spelling. Thanks for sharing this Baracuda. | Platform: Commodore 64 |
CADPAK-128 | Category: Hi-Res Graphic Editors [C128] | 08-19-24 |
CADPAK-128 by Roy C. Wainright (Abacus) - One of our visitors has generously taken the time to create and share a perfect archive of not just one version of CADPAK-128, but two! In this archive is the 1986/87 version of CADPAK-128 that used just the keyboard for drawing, AND the later 1987 version that added support for the 1351 mouse. Both images are .g64, with the extra .nibdat for verifying the rip was clean. The following is a quote from the CADPAK-128 manual describing the program:
Thank you Myke C. for archiving and sharing this Commodore history! Note - Although both versions run in VICE 128, it didn't act as well as the Z64K Commodore 128 emulator, you mileage may vary. | Platform: Commodore 128 |
Swisscomp Turbo Processor Manual | Category: Hardware Manuals [C64] | 08-18-24 |
TURBO PROCESSOR 4 Mhz 16 Bit Expansion card for the Commodore C64 We congratulate you on your purchase of one of the best hardware add-ons available for Commodore C64 . With Turbo 64 your Computer becomes one of the most efficient home computers in the world. To develop the TURBO PROCESSOR it needed a lot of research and time as we wanted to develop a card which is simply plugged into the expansion port and runs. We also discovered that one C64 is not the same as another C64. There are many different versions with different timings, i.e. a C64 made in England is different from the one made in USA Therefore you will find on the PCB of TURBO PROCESSOR three trim pots for adjusting the timing to suit your own C64. | ||
