From the better to worst

zArcadian
yDouble Dragon
zOverlander
?SuperHuey
xDouble Dragon III
xPopulous II
xBeverly Hills Cop First disk looks physically ok, but does not rotate well. Might be possible to fix by mounting to new case
zDownfall
xGauntlet II
zRotor
zMega-lo-mania
zStr1p boker II
zBeam
yTom and Jerry
xHunt for red October
xRodeogames

I think I have some other games too...


x not working with my falcon, suspect that floppy is ok, but problem probably in software compatibility
y working only partly First level working, or some blinkin in screen but could be probably fixed with correct software settings emulator
z working as far as I can see

Very funny content filtering. If I enter word str1p replacing "1" with "i", I will get some error

no no... the problematic word was the cardgame in the same game title.

Are this originals or cracks ?
I'm interested only in Pasti images of originals. Cracks are available all around.

Most of listed is available in Pasti format at atarimania . What is interesting is Arcadian, Beam, Downfall . And you can not make Pasti with Falcon, only with some ST(E).

You have hard disk fixed Overlander at klapauzius.net + many others.

Super Huey is not good game in my memories  :)

Beam is original (even original media and still keeps going), but others are cracks.

I also have original Nightdawn, which was in your hitlist in Atarimania.

I have Windows 7 and Linux computers and you had somewhere in your pages some imaging-software to use with that. I just have to find floppy disk drive.

I thought that pasti-images are bad, because game can not be converted back to disk anymore after that?
I don't remember that I have ever played superhuey, but Rotor game was quite good and it is also original. It was too difficult when I was a kid, but now it seemed to be ok. Usually it is another way around.

Tom and Jerry is playable, but mostly for kids. Screen flickers with Falcon, maybe ok if one finds correct settings for it.

I also have disk 1 of the game Tom and the Ghosts, but I have lost disk 2 somewhere... Maybe I will find it some day.

Anyway, I can copy these in format you prefer. It just takes some time.  Maybe I have to move floppy from computer to another etc.

ps. I am a bit pissed of of this forum human-detection...

Original game floppies usually have copy protection. Later ones have good copy protection, what means that you can not copy them without special equipment. Reading self is OK, of course, otherwise they would not work. Writing is what is not possible. And in this lies the reason why Pasti is read only. Actually, we should be very satisfied with Pasti, since it does reading of protected floppies on standard computer, with regular floppy drive.  So, I would not call Pasti bad - and their images are intended for usage with emulators. 

With mine FloImg you can not copy protected floppies.  There were some devices for protected floppies like Discovery Cartridge. Don't know can today buy it - maybe on E-Bay, second hand.  Kryoflux is what you can get today.  But all it is not so simple, there are some restrictions in their policy and delay in making usable images.

All in all, I don't see how you can copy original floppies.  And for me Pasti is perfectly good. But you can not make Pasti with PC or Falcon.
