Re: Best QL Games
I think one of the best games, nearly comparable to other computers (QL does not have hardware comparable to e.g. a C64) was Vroom (a car racing simulation). The graphics was superb (for its time) and IMHO comparable with C64 and Spectrum games. Another game I have liked a lot, was an submarine gam...

Re: ED floppy blank formated image for gotek

Re: New mdv discovery - QL Expert (an expert system shell)
After the usual faffing with an original mdv cartridge I have managed to obtain a working dump of 'QL - Expert' by Compware. This title was not on the wiki, so I added it to the Compware list page for now. From the name alone I thought it was some kind of interactive program teaching you how to be ...

Yes, I did try to track down Dave Sellars that wrote it but never managed to find the right one. It is a classic game which deserves to be available.
