It's been a while for an update but Christmas, New Year and the flu has taken alot of time away. Any how, I'm currently working on producing a Word version of the BASIC manual, it's turning into a labour of love but with any luck it'll be done soon. The arrival of the 20th Anniversary edition of TRON arrived this week, just to remind me what a great year 1982 was for technology ;-) and so added the 20th Ani. logo.

Added basic details for 'Children From Space'. As this will be my last update before Christmas, I would like to wish you all a Very Merry Chirstmas!!!

A new arrival of an early Dragon 32 leaflet (Family Computer) plus it's been added to the Adverts section.

Pictures of the mid style house picture sleeve added into the hardware list section. Re: 24th Nov 01 and 11th Nov 01.

Added a high quality scan of the Dragon 32 sticker from the top of the case, into the Dragon 32 gallery.

1) Done some research today on Dragon Data Ltd and Mettoy. Discovered that the name 'Dragon Data Limited' has been reregistered by a 'one man' limited company. And as a sign of bad times here are details of Mettoy (from Companies House).
2) Updated El Diablero, Starship Chameleonz, Whirlybird Run and Lunar Rover Patrol updated with screenshots.

Re: 11th Nov 01, the Mid style picture box arrived today and quite nice it is too. I'll add pictures soon.

Details and instructions added for 'SHAFT'.

Updated Cave Hunter, Meteroids and Shark Treasure with screen shots.

1) Rescued a Dragon 32 from the 'local tip' but unfortunately the dragon slayers had got there first and giving it a good pounding. But the bottom part of the case has survived along with the PSU (added to the Swap Shop).
2) Been in contact with the current owner of *MICRODEAL* who were the major software distributor for the Dragon in the UK. But it's very unlikely that anything (more than likely nothing) Dragon remains after the buy out in the early 90's and to the best of knowledge, what little Dragon was left at Microdeal hit the skip :-(. I'll keep you updated if any more information turns up and thanks to David for your time today.

Discovered 'Swish' this weekend (Thanks Chris for pointing it out) that allows the creation of Flash about 5 times easier and 5 five times quicker. So I've updated the home logo, hope you like it. For those without Flash you can now use the top logo to go home.

Details and instructions added for Jumpjet.

Contact with another collector brings 3 bix box games, Shaft, Flight and Jumpjet.

1) Added the 'Our Chess...' advert to the Adverts section.
2) Discovered a different style picture box on ebay this week, which I have just won :-). Judging by the serial number and the picture on the box, it came directly after the early logo box and before the later style picture box (with chess on the TV).

Took a while to get around to it, but an ebay purchase of a Dragon 32 brochure arrived last week and is now available to view in the Adverts section.

Updated 'Black Sanctum' and 'Quest' with pictures of the archives tapes.

Added 'Dragon Magic' and 'Inside the Dragon' to the publications section, 'D.M.' also includes a number of sample pages.

Synther7 added into the software section with instructions.

Nerble Force added into the software section with instructions.

The 'Swap Shop' is open for trading, no Dragon items at the moment but they won't be long.
Also a number of updates made to the software section: Black Sanctum, Graphic Animator, Shark Treasure, Dragon Selection 4 and Typing Tutor.

Pics of the Tano now added to the hardware section.

Re: Aug 29th 01 - OH YES it has arrived! *MINT* and I mean *MINT* Tano Dragon final arrives from the US of A.

Ebay win brings in 8 very nice boxed games, including 3 carts!

First instructions available! for Stalag and Eno. Currently done as pictures, due to file size issues and PDF's are giving me grief!

Contact has been made with Duncan Smeed of 'Inside the Dragon' fame who will hopefully be contributuing in the future. So, Duncan opens up the technical section (under Hardware), with an article on his ROM 'patch' (taken from Duncan's Jotter).

All the front covers of 'STOP PRESS' and 'Dragon World' finished in the publications section.

An ebay win brings a very nice boxed (new picture style) Dragon 32, with some nice extras :-), it's just a shame the Dragon won't boot (green screen and border but no copyright etc..). But then, I didn't pay some of the ridiculous ebay prices for it.

*WOW* First donation!! :o)) Tudor Davies passes on a couple of boxes stuffed with Dragon stuff. Top Dragon Data items include the 1st Issue of Dragon World, every issue of 'Stop Press' and as a special bonus every issue of Dragon User (as far as I can tell) .

I'll spend the next few weeks going though the stack of info and post up any Dragon Data stuff.
