    What was the Commodore 128 specific game, I believe published in Ahoy
    magazine, which was a dual-screen two-player adventure? About the only use of the C-128's dual-screen capability that I ever say.

    Anyone have a recollection of that?

    I remember typing that in in the late 80's lol Fun game :) Cleveland M. Blakemore: Dark Fortress. Ahoy Issue 37.

    That is definitely the one. One of a very short list of software which
    found ways to take advantage of the C128's unique architecture.

    Thanks.

    I downloaded the disk images and found that they were broken: They were each 11k, and DirMaster only gave me "0 BLOCKS FREE."

    It works fine for me. The Dark Fortress from Jan/87 is on CBAHOY8A.D64 image. run"dark fortress" from drive 8 works fine.
