You're correct. The full downloads contain everything up to Eamon #250
except for the softdisk eamons. However, keep in mind that the DOS 3.3
package won't contain the eamons that were only written for ProDOS.
Likewise, the ProDOS package doesn't include all of the DOS 3.3 programs as
not all of them were converted to ProDOS.
The only other caveat is that the disks have no DOS installed on them. You
can download boot disks with these links: Dos3.3 Boot Disk or a ProDOS boot
disk
Let me know if I can help further,
Matthew

so if i understand correctly if i get the zips for both the dos 3.3 and
prodos zip..(i assume that is what i did took both zip pkgs)
then between the 2 of them ..and whatever overlap there may be.i'll have
everything.prodos and dos in one way or another..up to 250
...but as mentioned the not the softdisk stuff...
and the dos 3.3 boot and prodos boot disk .which i get off the page
seperately...is the only other stuff i'd need to get to have a complete
(as far as your site) collection
anyway...i think i got.the above order correct right?
thanks for the effort
brad
mrbrad@ll.net
p.s. not that i want them or really need them but does this include the
famous (or should i say infamous) x-rated versions too in there someplace?
don't need them specifically but just curious..

Yes, if you download these two collections with the two boot disks you
should be able to play Eamon for a good while. You'll have all 250 Eamons,
except for the Softdisk Eamons. As far as I know, this is every Eamon that
has ever been submitted for public distribution (with the exception of two
eamons not written for the Apple system). I guess I should just go ahead and
add the boot disks to the collections to make it even easier. I'll try to do
that sometime this weekend.
As far as the naughty versions, they are also included. Tom Z. has always
produced two different Eamon CDs (a clean and a not-clean one) in order to
keep the naughty versions from falling into the wrong hands. I guess I feel
comfortable releasing them given the ease of accessing all sorts of worse
things on the internet. However, maybe a disclaimer should also be added the
file so that people would not be rudely surprised by them. Basically, if you
are offended by gross ual content, stay away from these two Eamons! (32
and 196). Parents, you'll want to play these Eamons yourself before you let
your children see them.
Actually, if anyone out there has a strong opinion about it either way,
please let me know. This posting has made me rethink my inclusion of the two
Eamons in the zip files and I want to see what other people think.

| Anyone downloading "The Tomb of Razaak" from the Eamon Adventurers
Guild should be aware that this game has nothing to do with the
Fighting Fantasy role-playing gamebooks.
Apparently I inadvertently used the name of one of their characters
when I was dreaming up my Eamon game. I discovered this only a few
minutes ago. I thought the name was my own creation, but it's likely
that I saw the name while surfing the net and it stuck in my
subconscious. I don't think there's a copyright violation involved
here, as the FF character is a demon-wizard in a fantasy universe,
whereas mine is the reptilian emperor of a long lost empire in a
science fiction setting.
Matthew, maybe this should be mentioned on the Guild's website, perhaps
as a footnote to Tom's review.
Damn, this is awkward.
