FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions (UPDATE ON:
01/12/07)
Just in case
you have a specific question that may already have been
answered; here's a bunch of useful FAQ ...
Q. When was C64endings first
established?
The Webmaster, Vinny Mainolfi, has been completing C64
games since 1984 and hasn't stopped since. Originally
released under the guise of Hackersoft, the batch of
game endings where sent to eager C64 followers on 5.25"
disks. This became very successful and it was only a
matter of time until the game endings appeared on a web
site, which is exactly what happened back in 1997. The
site rested for the period between 2002-2005, but came
storming back due to popular demand!
Q. How many game endings do you
currently have that don't appear on the site?
Check the top left-hand side of the the
HOME PAGE for an accurate
update.
Q. How do you decide which game
endings to use from your offline archive?
It depends on the mood I am in when going through the
archive. There is no set formula. Recently, other C64
users have contacted me and requested an ending to be
added to the site. I either have it in the archive or I
go and rip it straight from the game.
Q. Can you tell me what games
you have in your offline archive?
Check the top left-hand side of the the
HOME PAGE for an accurate
update.
Q. I would like to send you
some game endings; what file format would you like them
in?
We use the CCS64 emulator to capture our game endings
and screen shots, and so we would appreciate the endings
in either PRG, C64, VSF (VICE), TAP, T64 or D64 format.
Q. I have downloaded a game
ending but I don't know how to view it ... HELP!
Ah ... yes ... that one again. Well, to start with, all
the game endings are ZIPPED, so you will have to unzip
them with something like WINZIP. Once unzipped, the file
will appear as <<gameend>>.PRG. This is a file that can
be used in conjunction with any C64 emulator (on your PC
or MAC); or, if you are luck enough to have a transfer
cable, you can transfer this file straight to a REAL C64
and view it! Easy peasy.
Q. I don't agree with some of
your game ending ratings; can you change them?
I am sorry to hear that you don't agree with them, but
at the same time I am not surprised. We all have our own
opinions on C64 game endings, which is why we will offer
you and anyone else the chance to submit your opinions (use the email addy above) on a specific C64 game
ending, and we will ensure that they appear along side
the game ending (",)
Q. Why don't you offer a prize
for the best Room 101 or Reasons contribution?
Easy ... cos we aint made of money! Joking aside - We
are a non-profit web site and so we do not have the
funds to offer out prizes - sorry (".)
Keep the
questions coming (",)
