L/+INFINI

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                          INFINITY AND BEYOND

I HAVE recently noticed that I have lists of all the passwords and edit
codes for the REPTON games apart from the very last and best one, REPTON
INFINITY. Were these ever published in the 8-bit magazines of the time?
If so, where? ELECTRON USER ceased publication just as INFINITY hit the
shelves but are the passwords the same for the BBC version? If so, per-
haps they were published in THE MICRO USER.

BBC ACORN USER magazine (April 1990) didn't publish a list of passwords
but did include a small 'type-in' utility to hack into the REPTON INFIN-
ITY "M." files and list the passwords. Unfortunately, the only such file
supplied with the REPTON INFINITY package is for the first set of REPTON
3 TAKE 2 screens, so the utility only gives three passwords out of a 
total of eighteen. These are:
      Rep3A
      2) NGQGEHZO
      3) SMLKURGB
      4) UMZPTVTE

THE utility isn't otherwise useless though as it could be handy should 
you design your own screens and afterwards forget your passwords. One 
more password can be added to the list courtesy of my own prowess on 
this game:
      TrakA
      2) SPDDEPCH

OF course, this still leaves fourteen passwords lacking. Anyone who can
help Tom further is encouraged to send a copy of the information 
exchange to EUG so everyone can benefit from it.
   The Password Printer utility is included on this disk. BBC users will
need to delete the small "e" from "eM." in the last line to use it. 
Several new REPTON INFINITY games were published by HEADFIRST PD on demo
disks which included the ".M" files. Although these are sadly missing 
from the Electron Haven archives, this utility should work on those too.
