is that already found and archived?
Hi John – yeah, that one has been. Here it is: https://gb64.com/game.php?id=15465&d=18&h=0
I wrote the C-64 versions of Code Quest (w/ another programmer), Get To The Point, and Safari Search. I also wrote some routines for A Wrinkle In Time. I can confirm that they were all released. However, some of the titles listed here might have only been for Apple and (maybe) for DOS. Educational software for the Apple ][ out sold C-64 versions by a very significant margin; so the C-64 was never a big focus for Sunburst.
Thanks very much for confirming Nick, and also about the other titles. Hopefully we’ll get to find copies of your work soon, so they can be digitally preserved some day. Can you recall the name of the other programmer and do you by chance still have any copies of your work?
I have copies and would like to get the floppy disks transferred. Are you able to see my email used for posting this or should I reach out to you thru the site contact form?
Hi Nick, i’ll ping you a message quickly.
