Can any one help looking for a computer prog called Super handicap from the 1980’s ran on the Spectrum computer want to know if you have an inlay card for it as that is where the input codes were put but i don’t have that will be prepared to pay for it or if you know who Humphrey software are or were as they made the prog have tried the spectrum sites, a few have the prog but not the inlay card and i don’t know how to get into it to find out what the inputs are, any help appreciated thanks for looking

I don’t know he is still trading, but Alan Cresswell t/a Ace Software, Geddington, Northants does / did have a huge collection of home computer-era games available for sale via mail order at fair prices. Literally tens of thousands of the buggers.

I’ve not bought anything from him for a couple of years as I’ve needed to throw the money at racing things instead, but he was a ready supplier of even fairly obscure titles for my armada of BBC Micros and Acorn Electrons, so I expect a far more widespread / popular machine like the Speccy should be even more voluminously represented.

Last known trading address:

18 West Street
Geddington
Northants
NN14 1BD
aces@freeuk.com

Keith Ainsworth t/a Retrogamer in Liverpool has a skipload of stuff for all formats, too. I’m pretty sure he’s still going, as he and I were on adjacent stalls at a retro fair about 18 months ago! Reachable at;

52 Kingfield Road
Orrell Park
Liverpool
L9 3AW
United Kingdom
keithainsworth@hotmail.com.

Tony Cank t/a High Street Micro in Crewe still exists as a mail order concern, I believe, and again covers many formats, but he is a little pricier than the first two named and is generally reluctant to do you a discount;

20-22 High Street
Crewe
Cheshire CW2 7BN
tonycank@highstreemicro.co.uk

Lastly, Jason Moore t/a Retrogames in Bletchley is / was (last I used him) a very good source of old school stuff at nice prices – audio-visual stuff as well as games;

61 Baccara Grove
Bletchley
Milton Keynes
MK2 3AS
retrobloke@aol.com

Now if none of those chaps can supply you with an inlay, or know of someone who might have one / scanned one to the Interweb, I’d be surprised!

Best of luck.

I assume that as you are looking for the input codes then you can run the program and have a Spectrum.

As the program is most probably written in basic then you should be able to list it on the screen.

If so then you can scroll through until you find where you input the code

Should be something like INPUT "Enter input code ";a or some other letter or a letter with $ after it b$

Just after you might find something like IF a =1234 or IF b$ = "BONZO"

This is the code, 1234 or BONZO

Of course the programmer might have been clever enough to prevent the program being listed or have a changing input code or hide it in machine code.

[b:qj4kpexe]Having looked at the file from the link Ethan posted it looks like the program is written in machine code so cannot be listed as text. Back to the drawing board.[/color:qj4kpexe][/b:qj4kpexe]
