The following is a list of the software titles that were published by Electric Adventures for both MSX and Spectravideo machines from about 1987 onwards.
I will be working on resurrecting all of the titles from the sets of 3.5″ floppy disks (MSX-DOS), but I also have Spectravideo 5.25″ floppies and cassette tapes as backups as well. So it might be a while, but I will eventually get them all restored, and will start a library where they can be downloaded.
Most of the initial titles were written entirely in BASIC and were grouped in packs when previously sold. I’ll list them separately here, in the order they were published. All of the titles were made available for both MSX and Spectravideo, and all bar one were made to run on the lowest machine specification, i.e. the 16k memory limit of the SVI-318.
90% of the titles were written by me personally, but there are some written by others that were published on the author’s behalf. I will track down the original author names where they are not obvious and, where possible, of course, as I restore them.
