Hi everyone,
I recently got my hands on a (working) Sinclair 1000. I had one of these in the 4th grade circa 1984. I had a book of games in basic. Wasn't really learning as much as transcribing the code, but it was still so cool to hook up a cassette player as a kid to record backups of code and such.
Faster forward 30+ years and I have another one. I got a book on basic games, but also something that was special about this purchase was that the system came with a stack of retail cassettes. I don't know if this community has a repository of stuff, but i took it upon myself to record these programs with a zoom recorder and preserve them. The list of apps (and their accompanying instructions are:
Frogger
Inventory Control
Manufacturing Control
Money Analyzer
Money Analyzer 2
Power Pack 1
Presidential Campaign (really interested in this one being an election year.. lol)
SuperMaze
The Budgeter
The Checkbook Manager
The Cube Game
The Mixed Bag Game
The Organizer
if anyone knows a place i could upload / save the recordings I'd love to know. I have photos of all the pages of all the instructions as well. likely pull together in a PDF for each for organization. Just haven't done yet.
Thanks,
Caleb

wow that 3d defender program is cool. I also like this emulator. Very nice. Glad to know some people have made the effort to preserve!

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
