Looking some old games
Hello everyone! In recent weeks, the Star Wars games marathon has been making its way through games for Casio calculators of various models. The process is slow, but we are consistently solving all the difficulties.
@admin6572 , you wrote that you found Star Wars game by Per Lindberg for Luxor ABC 80. Could you share the ROM of the game please, since I can't find it anywhere.

I did not say I saw it run, I only found a description in it.
Nonetheless, I searched a bit and found it here:
Index ; scroll to LGN005_joyspel2.imd
It took me some time (I started yesterday when I saw your message on the RU forum); the breakthrough was when I found the manual (sp-000-a.tif) and noticed the weird naming convention: Cassettes used odd number (JOYSPEL1) and disquettes even numbers (JOYSPEL2). I looked for Joyspel2 et voilà
Good luck running it.
Don't forget this one BTW: https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C2337/Star+Wars.html

Hi @admin6572. Thanks for the tip, but this is not the original game. It looks like it's a port of Star Wars (1985) by Pontus Nylander from ZX Spectrum: https://youtu.be/Rv63avC88jI?si=3Z9sQH0sJbjTR_AH
I've already played this game on Spectrum)
Anyway, this information was useful, and I updated the information about this game in my materials, adding a mention of the port. So thanks!
@admin6572 Thanks a lot!!! I didn't know about this resource and 'll research it carefully.
P.S. Your first link actually has the Per Lindberg game available, which we didn't have!
How is the ABC 80 emulation? Trivial or complicado?
Hi guys,
Our marathon is slowly moving forward. In recent months, we've been running games on Sharp PC minicomputers. Four games launched, albeit slowly. As always, the video is available on@shaman7207 's YouTube channel.
But there were problems with the fifth ("L'Empire Contre Attaque" for Sharp PC-1251): it launches, but the controls refuse to work on both available emulators - PockEmul and PokecomGO. Some of the code is written in machine language, but we haven't figured it out yet (if anyone is proficient in it, we'd be happy to help; files are available here).
@admin6572 we've put games on the ABS platform on hold for now, but we'll get to it soon, after Sharp computers.
As usual, your best chance is with @porkbelly or maybe @lanhawk ; the rest of us is not-technical.
