It *is* worth the wait.
You may need to verify your email address with Rich as a few have "bounced"

Rich has said on Facebook that everyone should have the PDF by now, but he has had problems with some mail providers bouncing the mail because the file is 12 MB.

If you preordered and haven’t had the pdf yet, drop him a mail at sales@..., and he will send you a WeTransfer link.?

Rich had to do that with my copy, very quick reply once I’d let him know

I think because of the potential for being blocked as a spammer, they are being emailed in batches. Can you also check the size of attachments you can receive at your email address? The PDF is 11-12 Mb in size.

My copy was hiding in cover (spam folder) - spotted it just in time!

If your PDF email is marked as spam and the attachment blocked (thinking Outlook).? Just shift it to your inbox and the attachment becomes available for download.?
 

The free PDF for those that pre-ordered bundles were mailed out by Rich yesterday Monday 29th. However, he has said on FaceBook that a number bounced back and failed delivery because the accounts couldn’t handle the file size. Others were diverted into Junk/Spam folders by the recipients mail server. So I suggest you check your Junk folder or other email addresses associated with your account. If you still can’t find it contact Rich and he will sort you out.

The PDF purchase option for Infamy, Infamy! has yet to be made available but will go up on the TFL site later this week after the pre-orders are dealt with. The pre-orders were for hard copy bundles.

I was digging around in some old junk yesterday and came across a 3.5” floppy, which I showed to my 20 year old nephew. He at least didn’t comment something along the lines of – ‘cool, someone 3d printed the save icon’.

?

I remember with the 5.25” ones you could get double duty out of them by clipping the case and turning them over. Not reliable but a damn sight better than tape cassettes.

And the college was still showing the use of punch cards when I started there. ?

When I first started working as a computer operator, in what was then called Data Processing, in the late 1970s the smaller IBM S/370 mainframes (the 115 and 125 models only, I think) had their IPL microcode on 12" floppy disks. You always needed to have a spare in case the one you usually IPLed from had a read error. There was a small cupboard thing under the CPU console printer where the floppy drive was located.

I remember fiddling with the volume and tone on my cassette player to load TRS80 Games.

Then the wonderful Atari ST1040 came along with floppy drives, perfect for the SSI games.

A great computer game company now sadly gone
